In their recent publication, the authors explored the preventive effect of gentamicin in the irrigating solution on endophthalmitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in rabbits. This letter commends the authors for their innovative approach and discusses the potential of chitosan-based intraocular lenses as a future solution for reducing the incidence of endophthalmitis. Chitosan's natural antibacterial properties, coupled with its capacity for sustained drug release and surface modification, make it a promising material for IOLs. This letter highlights recent advancements and suggests areas for further research to fully realize the potential of chitosan-based IOLs in ocular surgery. |
