Patients with suspected bacterial endophthalmitis after cataract surgery showed no visual acuity improvement with intravitreal dexamethasone in addition to intravitreal antibiotics, according to a study.
The prospective, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 167 patients found that final best corrected visual acuity did not differ between patients who received dexamethasone and those who received a placebo. Patients were studied in three locations in the Netherlands: University Medical Centre Utrecht, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre and Rotterdam Eye Hospital.<
