Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Aqueous Humor Concentration of Moxifloxacin
Time Frame: Day 3 (operative day)
A 0.150 milliliter sample of the aqueous humor was obtained during cataract surgery. The concentration of moxifloxacin was measured by a validated procedure using high performance liquid-spectrometry.
