Among these patients, T2DM and non-diabetic controls who were scheduled for cataract surgeries were further followed up twice: one after 3 days of topical application of 0.5% levofloxacin preoperatively (Cravit, Santen, Japan; three times a day), and the other at 7 days after ceasing all postoperative medications of cataract surgery, including 0.5% levofloxacin three times a day for 2 weeks, 1% Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (Pred Forte, Allergan, Ireland) three times a day for 2 weeks, and Diclofenac sodium eye drops (Difei, Sinqi, China) three times a day for 4 weeks.
Levofloxacin
Levofloxacin is a synthetic antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It functions as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial cell division and replication.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted SMILE and LASIK Procedures
In the FS-LASIK procedures, the same femtosecond laser system was used for flap creation with a pulse energy of 185 nJ, followed by a MEL 80 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany) for stromal ablation with a repetition rate of 250 Hz and a pulse energy of 1.00±0.15 mJ. The intended flap thickness was set to 100 μm with a diameter of 8 mm. The hinges were located at a superior 12 o’clock with a length of 4.0 mm.
All surgeries were performed by an experienced surgeon (XTZ). Prior to surgery, 0.5% topical levofloxacin (Cravit; Santen, Osaka, Japan) was applied four to six times daily for 3 days. A bandage soft contact lens was applied for 1 day after FS-LASIK. After both procedures, 0.5% topical levofloxacin, 0.1% fluorometholone solution and non-preserved artificial tears (carboxymethylcellulose sodium eye drops; Allergan, Irvine, California, USA) were applied.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
