Abstract

In Brazil, the greatest barrier to the routine intracameral use of prophylactic antibiotics at the end of cataract surgery is the lack of a commercially available antibiotic preparation for intracameral use approved by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). The Literature Review Group of the Brazilian Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ABCCR/BRASCS) chose this topic for update aiming to review aspects regarding the spectrum of activity, dosage, preparation, safety and efficacy of moxifloxacin, cefuroxime, and vancomycin, which are deemed the safest antibiotics for intracameral use.
