Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic called Zimoxin, given inside the eye during cataract surgery, can help prevent serious eye infections. It's for people having cataract surgery and may offer extra protection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two antibiotics (levofloxacin and moxifloxacin) given as an injection into the eye during cataract surgery, to see which one is better at preventing infection. If you are having routine cataract surgery, this study may help decide which antibiotic works best.
This trial tests if an antibiotic injection directly into the cornea can help when standard eye drops are not working for a stubborn bacterial eye infection.
This study tests a new anti-inflammatory eye drop (PRO-232) in people who had routine cataract surgery on one eye the day before. The goal is to see if it helps control swelling and pain without problems.
This study compares two ways to prevent complications after cataract surgery. One group gets a special combination of eye drops and a steroid injection before surgery, and the other group gets standard care. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer problems after surgery.
This trial tests if an eye drop called Zamidine® can help prevent infections in people who have a history of repeated eye infections (conjunctivitis) and are about to have eye surgery. The goal is to see if it safely reduces the risk of surgery-related eye infections.
This trial tests whether giving extra antibiotic (azithromycin) before hysterectomy can lower the chance of infections after surgery. You might benefit by helping prevent post-surgery infection, but it also depends on your allergy history and heart rhythm risks.
