Commentary highlights potential benefits of intracameral antibiotics for endophthalmitis in cataract surgery, suggesting further studies are needed.
This commentary evaluates the systematic review assessing intracameral antibiotic prophylaxis in cataract surgery complicated by posterior capsular rupture. While pooled findings suggest reduced endophthalmitis risk, reliance on observational studies, heterogeneity in antibiotic agents, and limited patient-level data restrict causal interpretation. Prospective studies with standardized protocols are needed to guide optimal prophylactic strategies.
