title: Cataract Surgery in Behçet's Disease Patients One Week after Infliximab Administration.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe two patients with Behçet's disease who underwent cataract surgery one week after infliximab administration.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients received preoperative antibiotic therapy with 0.5% levofloxacin eye drops and 500 mg levofloxacin oral tablets, followed by cataract surgery one week after infliximab administration. We observed ocular findings following cataract surgery, phacoemulsification-aspiration, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were no intraoperative complications. Neither ocular inflammatory attacks nor infectious complications were found in the operated eyes of both patients during follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Administration of infliximab one week before cataract surgery is safe and effective for patients with Behçet's disease.
