ABSTRACT
Ocular therapeutics have a significant role to play in any type of intraocular surgery. In cataract surgery specially small incision cataract surgery (SICS) drugs are administered in the form of topical eye drops, systemic administration, eye ointments, injections or infusion forms. The aim of drug administration in SICS is to:
• Prepare bacteria free sterile environment for safe surgery (preoperatively). • To assist in surgical steps for safe surgery (Perioperative) • To bolster the compromised defence mechanisms of surgically traumatized eye
(Postoperatively) to achieve complications free post surgical phase to obtain best visual results.
