  • Title: Bilateral endophthalmitis after bilateral sequential phacoemulsification.
    Author: Puvanachandra N, Humphry RC.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2008 Jun; 34(6):1036-7. PubMed ID: 18499016.
    Abstract:
    An 81-year-old woman had uneventful bilateral sequential phacoemulsification using a separate sterile technique for each eye. Despite this, early culture-positive postoperative endophthalmitis developed. Management included bilateral intravitreal antibiotic agents, and the patient achieved an excellent visual outcome. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case of bilateral endophthalmitis after bilateral sequential phacoemulsification and the first reported case in which a separate sterile technique was used in each eye.
