Ofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic solution or ointment was administered preoperatively to 13 patients undergoing cataract surgery. Mean drug concentrations in conjunctival biopsies were 2.62 and 6.55 micrograms/gm and in aqueous humor samples were 0.36 micrograms/mL and 0.43 micrograms/mL, for ointment and solution respectively. Mean conjunctival concentrations of ofloxacin achieved MIC90 values for 419 gram-positive and gram-negative organisms previously analyzed.
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.
