The use of topical antibiotic agents poses unique and challenging hurdles for drug delivery, especially because recent reports have suggested that the incidence of endophthalmitis may be increasing. Exploiting the permeability of the sclera, subconjunctival routes may offer a more promising alternative for enhanced drug delivery and tissue targeting compared with topical routes. In theory, the combination of an antibiotic with a steroid in a controlled-release system delivered transscleral could be feasible after cataract surgery to achieve several clinical objectives, i.e., eliminate topical medications, enhance patient compliance, improve drug bioavailability, and protect the patient from infection.
