Abstract
It’s the most devastating complication after any ocular surgical procedure including cataract surgery, radial keratotomy, anterior chamber paracentesis , trabeculectomy and intraocular lens repositioning.
Postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis has been reported to occur in from 0.04% to 0.2% of cataract surgical cases . There appeared to be an increase in the incidence of endophthalmitis reported in the United States approximately a decade ago(1,2).
Using Medicare data, West et al. found that the rate of endophthalmitis increased in 1998. Taban et al. found an increased rate of endophthalmitis associated with phacoemulsification through clear corneal versus scleral tunnel incisions between 1992 and 2003. (2,3).
