BACKGROUND: One of the directions of modern ophthalmology is toward an odontoiatric model, and new settings of eye care are becoming the standard of care: one day surgery and also office-based therapies. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of three tertiary-care centers in Italy and analysis of the literature. RESULTS: We provide readers with state-of-the-art measures of prophylaxis in ophthalmic surgery. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Role of antibiotics is criticized in the light of stewardship antimicrobial paradigm.
