Immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) can lead to severe complications like endophthalmitis if aseptic protocols are breached. This case highlights the critical importance of separate instrument sterilization for each eye during ISBCS to prevent infection and ensure patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Surgical Safety
- Infectious Disease
Background:
- Immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) offers faster visual rehabilitation and improved quality of life.
- Aseptic technique is paramount in all surgical procedures, especially in the sensitive environment of the eye.
