The Clinical Safety of Topical Levofloxacin 1.5% vs Topical Moxifloxacin 0.5%
Endophthalmitis is defined as intraocular inflammatory disorder affecting the vitreous cavity that can result from exogenous or endogenous spread of infecting organisms into the eye. Patients presents with reduced or blurred vision, red eye, pain, and lid swelling. Endophthalmitis can progress into panophthalmitis, corneal infiltration and perforation, and finally phthisis bulbi. For exogenous endopthalmitis, the intraocular inflammation occurs due to a breach of the ocular compartment. The infectious agent indirectly introduced into the eye. This usually happens after intraocular surgery such as cataract surgery, vitrectomy, glaucoma filtration surgery, intravitreal injections, and other causes include penetrating ocular trauma or from adjacent periocular tissue. Several prophylactic measures have been taken to reduce the incidence of post-operative endopthalmitis postcataract surgery, this includes the use of pre-operative topical levofloxacin, intrameral cefuroxime, and providone iodine as ocular surface preparation.The proposed study is to evaluate clinical safety of Levofloxacin 1.5% and Moxifloxacin 0.5% on the anterior segment parameters.

Interventions
- Levofloxacin Ophthalmic Product
- Moxifloxacin Ophthalmic Solution
Primary outcomes
- Comparison of change in corneal surface in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution — Day 3 of eyedrop instillation
Evaluation of non-invasive tear break-up time (NITBUT), redness analysis, tear meniscus height and Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) of corneal surface from Baseline by using Oculus Keratograph-5 Machine at Day 3 of eyedrop instillation. Corneal surface signs (ie punctate epithelial erosions) is also measured by slit-lamp examination and graded using Oxford Scale Eye Grading. - Comparison of change in corneal surface in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution. — 1-month post operation

Corneal surface signs (ie punctate epithelial erosions) is also measured by slit-lamp examination and graded using Oxford Scale Eye Grading. - Comparison of Concentration of Endothelial cell count (cells/mm2) in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution — Day 3 of eyedrop instillation
Change in Concentration of Endothelial cell count (cells/mm2) from Baseline, measured at Day 3 of eyedrop instillation using a non-contact TOPCON Specular Microscopy model SP-1P. - Comparison of Concentration of Endothelial cell count (cells/mm2) in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution — 1-month post-operation
Change in Concentration of Endothelial cell count (cells/mm2) from Baseline, measured at 1-month post-operation using a non-contact TOPCON Specular Microscopy model SP-1P. - Comparison of Endothelial cell morphology in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution — Day 3 of eyedrop instillation
Change in Endothelial cell morphology from Baseline by assessing the Polymegathism (CV) which is the variation in individual cell areas, and Pleomorphism which is the increased in variability of cell shape, at Day 3 of eyedrop instillation using a non-contact TOPCON Specular Microscopy model SP-1P. - Comparison of Endothelial cell morphology in patients treated with topical levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution and topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution — 1-month post-operation
