Within the last 6 months, three cases of infectious endophthalmitis
following sutureless cataract surgery have been referred to us. Two of
these cases followed uncomplicated sutureless phacoemulsification with
intraocular lens implantation. One case was complicated by a postoperative
hyphema with additional surgery for clot removal 2 days following the
initial procedure.
