Evaluation for endotoxin in intraocular materials used during phacoemulsification surgery using a recombinant factor C assay.

Objective: Cataract surgery remains the sole method to resolve blindness secondary to cataract formation. One complication includes fibrin web formation post-operatively. This study aimed to investigate the presence of endotoxin within materials used during cataract surgery as a possible cause of fibrin web phenomenon.
