Background: To investigate postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) prevention by moxifloxacin prophylaxis.
Methods: After crystalline lens removal and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, 18 rabbit eyes were injected intracameral with different coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) inoculums in order to determine the minimum inoculum required for a reproducible POE model. Another 28 similar eyes were divided into Group A, which was implanted with standard IOLs with intracameral injection of 100 μg/0.
Purpose: To determine the ability of moxifloxacin to penetrate the rabbit eye after corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet-A light irradiation.
Setting: Harlan Biotech Israel, Rehovot, Israel.
Design: Experimental study.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of intraocular lens (IOL) moxifloxacin presoaking time on the intraocular concentration of moxifloxacin achieved after intracameral moxifloxacin injection.
Setting: Harlan Biotech Israel, Rehovot, Israel.
Design: Laboratory study
Methods: Sixty eyes of 30 rabbits were divided into 2 groups after crystalline lens evacuation.
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of different intraocular lens (IOL) presoaking times in an antibiotic solution and to compare the results with intracameral antibiotic injection alone.
Methods: Part A: 45 IOLs were soaked in gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, or prednisolone acetate for 10 min, 24 h, and 1 week and then placed in a vial with a balanced salt solution. The solutions were sampled 12 and 24 h later.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety of a new injector, the Raysert R-INJ-04/18, for implantation of the C-flex intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Ophthalmology Department, Kaplan Medical Center, Rehovot, Israel.
Design: Experimental study.
Background And Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of different ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) on corneal endothelial cells against relatively severe phacoemulsification damage in a rabbit model.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four rabbit eyes were randomly assigned to four similar groups: in three groups the aqueous humor was completely replaced by Visiol (TRB CHEMEDICA, München, Germany), Biolon (Bio-Technology General Ltd., Kiryat Malachi, Israel), and Viscoat (Alcon, Puurs, Belgium) and in the control group no OVD was applied.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how different ophthalmic viscosurgical devices protect corneal endothelial cells during cataract surgery in rabbits.
- The experimental setup involved three groups of rabbit eyes, each treated with a different combination of these devices while undergoing phacoemulsification, and endothelial cell counts were measured before and after the procedure.
- Results indicated that the group using the Visiol and Biolon combination experienced significantly less cell loss compared to the group using only Biolon, suggesting the soft-shell technique is more effective for preserving corneal cells.
