The authors investigated in a group of 186 adults and 46 children the effect of antibiotic drops UNIFLOX UNIMED PHARMA. The drops contain the effective substance ofloxacine and were used in different inflammations of the eye and adnexa as well as before and after surgery of the eye. Of 110 patients where before surgery from the conjunctival sac pathogenic microorganisms were cultivated, after 7 days following administration of the drops in 105 patients the finding was negative.The marked effect on staphylococci was remarkable. During the posto- perative period, in particular after operations of the cornea, a positive prophy- lactic effect was found and the authors did not observe any effect on healing of the surgical wounds or epithelization of the cornea. The drug had a high antimic- robial effect also in children where it was administered in suppurative dacrocys- titis of neonates, acute inflammations of the conjunctiva or bacterial superficial keratitis. All patients tolerated the drug very well, no side-effects were observed.
