“…Matsuura et al [43] reported the incidence of endophthalmitis in the 4 years prior and 4 years following routine the use of intracameral moxifloxacin for prophylaxis of endophthalmitis in a Japanese hospital system. The incidence of endophthalmitis was one in 1955 cases prior to use of intracameral moxifloxacin and one in 6265 cases after, reflecting a three-fold decreased incidence.…”

Favorable visual acuity outcomes are possible following cataract surgery in patients with retinal disease, including uveitis, diabetic macular edema, and age-related macular degeneration. Perioperative control of retinal disease activity is desired, but level 1 evidence to guide best practices regarding optimal timing and nature of perioperative treatment remains limited. Prevention of postoperative retinal detachment and endophthalmitis is deserving of additional study.

Do evidence‐based guidelines change clinical practice patterns?

In 2013, the Danish Health and Medicines Authorities published a National Clinical Guideline on the treatment of age-related cataracts. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on the indication for cataract surgery, cataract surgery in patients with age-related macular degeneration, on the use of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) to correct preoperative corneal astigmatism, the use of intracameral and topical antibiotics to prevent endophthalmitis, choice of anti-inflammatory medication to control postoperative inflammation and prevent cystoid macular oedema, the use of immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery and on the postoperative check-up of patients. A questionnaire was sent to all members of the Danish Ophthalmological Society before and after publication of the guideline. The responses showed that the guideline had changed practice patterns so that surgeons were more likely to prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops and to not prescribe topical antibiotic eye drops after the guideline was published. Other parameters, most notably the use of toric IOLs and use of postoperative examinations were more guided by reimbursement standards than by evidence-based medicine. Thus, evidence-based guidelines do change practice patterns unless they are counteracted by the reimbursement system.

“…Thus, IC MFLX could prevent endophthalmitis in our model as well as IC LVFX. 42 The results of our study should be interpreted with care, considering its limitations. First, this study was conducted in a rabbit model with experimentally induced E. faecalis endophthalmitis.…”
