The objective of this study is to evaluate the macular and choroidal thickness of patients submitted to intracameral moxifloxacin during the phacoemulsification surgery for endophthalmitis prophylaxis. The investigators propose a randomized clinical trial double-blind. The patients will be divided into two groups: one will receive intracameral moxifloxacin injection during phacoemulsification surgery and the other won\'t. Both Spectral Domain - Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) and Enhanced Depth Imaging - Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT) will be performed for each patient pre-operatively and on the 30th and 60th postoperative days. After collecting, the data will be compared to evaluate if there was any difference in the macular thickness and choroidal thickness between the two groups.
