Corneal endothelial cells are very sensitive to any form of toxic exposure. Using intracameral cefuroxime during the anterior segment surgery may be more toxic on the endothelial tissue in patients with vulnerable corneal endothelium. Because of the definite risk of dosage errors, these agents should be prepared in the hospital pharmacy and not in the operating theatre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
