The clinical sample is divided into two groups, study group which will include treated and (GS) and control group (GC) eyes. The study group will be treated with OZODROP®, an isotonic ophthalmic solution composed of 0.5% ozonized oil in liposomes and hypromellose, while the GC will receive saline solution.\n\nAt the time of recruitment, all eyes will undergo a complete examination, as usual, and the patient enrolled in the study will be shown how to proceed.\n\nThe study includes 2 times, (T0) and (T3), equal for both groups in the study. 3 days before the cataract surgery (T0), two conjunctival swabs will be taken from the patients enrolled in the study, one in the eye to be operated and one in the control eye, who will be kept at a controlled temperature (+ 2 / + 7 ° C) and sent to the laboratory within 24 hours. Than, starting on the day of collection, the patients will instill the OZODROP® eye drops in the eye to be used (2 drops 4 times a day, 1 drop every 4 hours: 9:00 am, 1:00 pm, 5:00 pm: 00, h21: 00), while the untreated contralateral eye will serve as a control.Immediately before the cataract surgery (T3), the patients enrolled in the study will again receive two conjunctival swabs, one in the eye to be operated and one in the control eye. The last OZODROP® instillation will be carried out 10 minutes before the withdrawal. For the microbiological evaluation, the conjunctival swabs taken at T0 and T3 will be sent to the Microbiology laboratory. The reduction of conjunctival microbial flora, expressed as CFU, will be evaluated.\n\nThrough the analysis of the parameters in the study, a significant reduction in the microbial flora of the conjunctiva is expected in patients undergoing treatment with OZODROP®.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
