【 摘 要 】

Purpose: To describe two patients with Behçet’s disease who underwent cataract surgery one week after infliximab administration. Methods: Patients received preoperative antibiotic therapy with 0.5% levofloxacin eye drops and 500 mg levofloxacin oral tablets, followed by cataract surgery one week after infliximab administration. We observed ocular findings following cataract surgery, phacoemulsification-aspiration, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Results: There were no intraoperative complications. Neither ocular inflammatory attacks nor infectious complications were found in the operated eyes of both patients during follow-up. Conclusion: Administration of infliximab one week before cataract surgery is safe and effective for patients with Behçet’s disease.
