This large retrospective cohort study used data from more than 5 million people who underwent bilateral cataract surgery in the United States to investigate the rate of post-operative endophthalmitis. The authors compared the rates of endophthalmitis in the group of patients who had both eye surgeries on the same day (immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery, …

Although rare, infectious endophthalmitis is among the most serious post-surgical complications of ophthalmic surgery because it can result in serious vision loss. The standard technique for diagnosing endophthalmitis is microbial culture, but this technique fails to identify an organism in many cases. 16S polymerase chain reaction is more sensitive and specific than traditional culture techniques, …
