Abstract. Purpose:To report the prophylactic effect of 0.3% gatifloxacin or 0.5% levofloxacin before surgery for cataract or glaucoma. Patients and Method:This study was made on 83 eyes of 75 patients who were scheduled for cataract or glaucoma surgery and who were positive after culture of smear conjunctival sac. The series comprised 34 males and 41 females. Topical antiglaucomatous medication was being used in 44 eyes. All the cases started instillation of gatifloxacin or levofloxacin 4 times daily for 3 days before surgery. Culture of conjunctival sac was made on the day before surgery. Results:Culture gave negative results in 36 out of 39 eyes(92%)after instillation of gatifloxacin and in 38 out of 44 eyes(86%)after levofloxacin. There was no difference between the two groups. Concomitant use of antiglaucomatous medication did not influence the result. Conclusion:Prophylactic instillation of gatifloxacin or levofloxacin is useful before surgery for cataract or glaucoma.
