Exclusion Criteria

• Glaucoma or intraocular hypertension not controlled;
• Use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ocular topical or systemic drugs (NSAIDs) during the study and the 14 days prior to study entry, except for an allowed daily dose of aspirin low-dose (100 mg);

• History of chronic ocular inflammatory disease or recurrent (ie, iritis, scleritis, uveitis, iridocyclitis, rubeosis iridis) in the eye to be operated;
• Any intraocular inflammation (score of cells than Grade 0) to be present during the examination of slit lamp or ocular pain increased in the Grade 1 -2 Day in the study eye (eye operation);
• Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (eye operation) non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, moderate to severe (eye operation);
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus;
• Patients with vision in one eye or vision not correctable to LogMAR 1.0 or better in each eye using the ETDRS framework;
• Participation in any other clinical study within 12 months prior to surgery, pregnant women, lactating or under conditions of breeding methods that are not using adequate birth control (as defined in the criteria for inclusion, above);
• Known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin, steroids, topical anesthetics or any other component of the study medication;

• Patients with epithelial herpes simplex (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, varicella, or other viral disease of the cornea or conjunctiva, tuberculosis of the eye, fungal diseases of ocular structures;
• Patients who use a topical ophthalmic prostaglandin, such as ,Travatan® (travoprost),Xalatan®(latanoprost),Lumigan®(bimatoprost)and Rescula®(unoprostone) should discontinue their use starting four days before surgery until their departure from study.
