    Author: Samples JR, Binder PS.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1984 Jan; 15(1):66. PubMed ID: 6700948.
    Abstract:
    A cloudy, floating opacity was found in a bottle of irrigating solution during routine cataract surgery. This was subsequently identified as Penicillium, and the patient was successfully treated. Surgeons are urged to check the containers of solutions used for intraocular irrigation prior to beginning surgery.
