The research goal is to study the impact of various schemes of antibacterial therapy in the postoperative period in patients after cataract phacoemulsification with distant thermography. Under observation there were 68 patients with cortical initial cataract. All patients were subjected to cataract phacoemulsification. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 34 patients of the first group after the operation dropped into the operated eye medication «Oftaquiks» 1 drop 5 times a day for one day before surgery and for 5 days postoperatively. 34 patients from the second group as an antibacterial drug received medication "Cipromed" in a similar way. Inflammatory reaction in postoperative period in the first group was not evident. In the second group the presence of inflammatory reaction of various degrees was revealed. Period of its reduction was 6,3 ± 2 days. The temperature difference between the non-operated and operated eye in the 3d day in most cases was less than 1 day after surgery. In the first group of patients the average temperature difference in the 3d day after surgery was 0.35 ± 0.21 ° C, and in the second group of patients - 1.3±0.83°C. Advantages of dynamic thermal imaging method for monitoring the state of the eye, including the analysis of time dependencies of temperature in the process of natural load test, which allows to select the optimal drug correction of postoperative cataract pha-coemulsification were revealed
