Can Intraocular Lenses Deliver Antibiotics Intracamerally?

Abstract

Both lenses were capable of delivering clinically significant antibiotic levels after a 1-min soak. Moxifloxacin concentrations reached at both 1 and 10-min soak times exceed the MIC(90) of the most common pathogens responsible for postoperative endophthalmitis. The antibiotic-soaked IOL has potential to become a clinically significant technique in the prevention of postoperative endophthalmitis.
