Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Complications

Context:

  • Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation is a common cataract surgery.
  • Infective endophthalmitis is a serious post-operative complication that can lead to vision loss.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of infective endophthalmitis following phacoemulsification.
  • To identify risk factors and common pathogens.
  • To discuss prevention and treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 63,372 phacoemulsification cases revealed an infective endophthalmitis incidence of 0.02%.
  • Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most frequent pathogen identified.
  • Posterior lens capsule rupture was a significant risk factor, and strict adherence to surgical routines is crucial for prevention.

Impact:

  • Understanding the incidence and risk factors aids in developing targeted preventative measures.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve visual outcomes.
  • This study underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique in reducing post-operative endophthalmitis.
