title: [Prophylactic antibiotic therapy in ocular surgery].
abstract: Prophylactic antibiotics have been used by ophthalmic surgeons routinely before and after surgery. However, the optimal type of antibiotics and route of administration have not yet been clearly established. In this article, ocular surgery patterns, bacteriology and pharmacokinetics of antibiotics within the eye are reviewed, to try to provide rationale for antimicrobial prophylaxis.
