Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Topical fluoroquinolones (FQs) have achieved widespread use in ophthalmology for both the treatment and prophylaxis of ocular infections. The present study is set to determine the bacteria present on the ocular surface in patients at the time of cataract surgery and to assess the rate of resistance of ocular isolates to commonly used topical antibiotics.
