Comparing two antibiotics for cataract surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an age-related cataract and are scheduled for routine (elective) cataract surgery.
- You will be having the standard type of surgery called phacoemulsification, with a foldable lens implant.
- Your cornea (the clear front part of the eye) must be healthy, with normal cell counts.
- You must not have any active eye infection or inflammation.
- You must not be allergic to levofloxacin or moxifloxacin.
- You must be willing to come to all scheduled follow-up visits after surgery.

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 study tests two types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery to see which one gives better visual function after the operation. It may help you see better at different distances without glasses.
This study tests three different tools used by surgeons to fold and insert a new artificial lens during cataract surgery. If you are already scheduled for surgery with a specific lens, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
This trial tests two different devices that measure your eyes before cataract surgery to see which one helps doctors choose the best lens implant. The goal is to get your vision as close to perfect as possible after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of doing cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision sooner after the operation. It may help you if you have a dense cataract and are planning surgery.
