Here, we describe the first report of post-operative endophthalmitis due to Comamonas testosteroni in an elderly diabetic patient after complicated cataract surgery. The isolate was identified by using Mini API strips. The patient was successfully treated with intravitreal ceftazidime and oral ciprofloxacin.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Eye Institute, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Purpose: To describe the safety and assess the feasibility of using intracameral cefuroxime sodium (Aprokam®) during congenital cataract surgery as a preventive measure for endophthalmitis.
Design: Monocentric, prospective, observational pilot study.
Setting: San Giuseppe Hospital, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates risk factors for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a common complication after retinal detachment surgery.
- A large patient database was analyzed, identifying systemic (like age, gender, and smoking) and ocular (such as trauma and previous eye conditions) factors that correlate with increased PVR risk.
- The findings emphasize the importance of considering these risk factors in surgical planning and treatment to prevent PVR in patients with retinal detachment.
Retropupillary Iris Clip Intraocular Lenses: A Case Series of 57 Eyes.

Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with retropupillary implantation of an iris clip intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent secondary retropupillary intraocular lens insertion combined with pars plana vitrectomy to treat aphakia secondary to a dislocated nucleus lens (group A); or IOL dislocation (group B). Patient demographics, preoperative visual and refractive outcomes, intraoperative factors, postoperative visual and refractive outcomes, and complications within the follow-up period ranging from 6 months up to 3 years postoperative, were recorded.

Background And Objectives: Endophthalmitis is a type of eye inflammation that affects all structures of the eye and is generally of infectious origin. In cases recalcitrant to intravitreal treatment or posterior vitrectomy, evisceration or enucleation are the preferable options. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement has stood out as an implant in other areas of medicine due to its great stability and healing.
