Cataract
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a multi center, open label, interventional study in one eye of 5 subjects scheduled for uncomplicated cataract surgery with administration of a single Levofloxacin Ocular Implant in the posterior sulcus of the surgical eye at the end of cataract surgery.
Interventions
Levofloxacin Ocular Implant an implant that delivers a bolus dose of levofloxacin and a constant daily dose for a further 5-7 days.
