Gross factors in treatment of nonhealing corneal ulcers and recurrent erosions.

abstract：PURPOSE:The fourth-generation fluoroquinolone, moxifloxacin, covers most gram-positive and gram-negative isolates causing endophthalmitis. It is safe and effective for systemic and topical use, but only limited data are available on prophylactic intracameral administration to prevent endophthalmitis. This study uses a ...
