Abstract

An excessive use of antibiotic preparations in daily practice frequently without clear medical indications has led to the development of dangerous strains of bacteria resistant to the available pharmaceutical drug. Today, antibiotics are used not only to treat infections, but also as preoperative infection prevention. Intravitreal injection is one of the most commonly performed ophthalmological procedures where, until recently, perioperative antibiotics prevention was recommended. Currently, antibiotics in this procedure are not advised at all. Nowadays, for anti-infective prophylaxis we use iodopovidone and preparations that combine antiseptic and soothing effects.
