Abstract:
The postoperative treatment of cataract surgery is an important element for success of the surgery. The postoperative therapy primarily aims at the prevention of intraocular bacterial infection by administration of antibiotics. Anti-inflammatory drugs can suppress the operation-related inflammation. In addition to fundamental risks of topical eye drop application, this review article discusses the current therapeutic strategies for the prevention of postoperative bacterial infection and suppression of surgically induced inflammation.
