%X Las fluoroquinolonas son ampliamente utilizadas para el tratamiento de infecciones oculares bacterianas, ya que tienen actividad tanto para grampositivos, como para gramnegativos. Son f芍rmacos seguros, pero se han descrito dep車sitos blancos cristalinianos en pacientes con administraci車n frecuente y prolongada;en la mayor赤a de los casos, ellos resuelven de forma lenta al interrumpir el tratamiento. Si esto no ocurre, los dep車sitos se deben desbridar. Se ilustran 3 casos operados de catarata que llevaron tratamiento con ciprofloxacino en el posoperatorio, en los cuales se presentaron dep車sitos corneales y aunque disminuy車 la agudeza visual, esta se recuper車 despu谷s de la queratectom赤a. Fluoroquinolones are broadly used for the treatment of bacterial ocular infections, since they can act upon both grampositive and gramnegative bacteria. They are safe drugs, but white corneal deposits have been described in patients who frequently take this drug for a long period of time. In most of the cases, the deposits disappear slowly after the treatment is interrupted. If this does not happen, the deposits should be eliminated. Three cases operated on from cataract were presented, who had been taken ciprofloxacin in the postoperative stage and had corneal deposits. Although their visual acuity decreased, it recovered after keratectomy.
