Propionibacterium acnes in capsular bag distension syndrome.

We report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome that developed 6 years after uneventful phacoemulsification with implantation of a foldable, single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (AcrySof MA60BM). Slitlamp microscopy revealed a deep anterior chamber with no flare or cells. The posterior capsular bag was distended by a homogeneous milky substance between the back of the IOL and the capsular bag.

Intracameral moxifloxacin: in vitro safety on human ocular cells.

Purpose: The fourth-generation fluoroquinolone, moxifloxacin, covers most gram-positive and gram-negative isolates causing endophthalmitis. It is safe and effective for systemic and topical use, but only limited data are available on prophylactic intracameral administration to prevent endophthalmitis. This study uses a cell culture model to investigate the safety of moxifloxacin for intracameral application.
