Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) rates and risk factors in patients undergoing secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for aphakia and IOL exchange, focusing on Medicare beneficiaries in the U.S. from 2011 to 2022.
  • The results showed that the 42-day POE rates were 0.35% for secondary IOL implantation and 0.28% for IOL exchange, with higher risks associated with anterior vitrectomy and increased comorbidity.
  • The overall POE rate was found to be 0.31%, suggesting that the lack of a posterior capsule during secondary IOL surgeries may contribute to the increased risk compared to standard cataract procedures.
