Endophthalmitis is a rare, but not ‘never’, potentially visually devastating complication of cataract surgery, with reported rates ranging from 0.02% to 0.35% (table 1).1 2 There are multiple risk factors, including host-related characteristics, such as age, male gender, immune compromise, diabetes mellitus and ocular surface disease with blepharitis (figure 1).3 Technique-related factors, such as wound location, wound construction, transient hypotony, postoperative wound leakage, intraoperative discission of the posterior capsule and/or vitreous prolapse, prosthetic intraocular lens material, postoperative patching versus no patching and others, contribute to the risk of postoperative infection.3 Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (figure 2) are the most commonly recovered organisms, followed by other Gram-positive bacteria and, less frequently, Gram-negative organisms.4 Efforts to develop universally adopted perioperative prevention practices have not eliminated endophthalmitis as a potential complication of cataract surgery. The ocular surface plays...
