Postoperative endophthalmitis is a bacterial infection that most often occurs acutely a few days after surgery. Any postoperative inflammation should raise the suspicion of acute endophthalmitis, especially if vitritis is present. Suspicion of the diagnosis must be combined with emergent therapeutic management in order to improve the anatomical and functional prognosis.

Though technological advancements have transcended beyond expectation, phacoemulsification remains a challenge in uncooperative patients, where the procedure may be contemplated under general anesthesia, with simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) being the surgery of choice. In this manuscript, we have reported a novel two-surgeon technique of SBCS on a 50-year-old mentally subnormal patient. Under general anesthesia, two surgeons performed phacoemulsification simultaneously, using two separate microscopes, irrigation lines, phaco machines, instruments, and assistants.

Background: We would assess the efficacy of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide IVTA combined with standard phacoemulsification on the central subfield macular thickness (CSMT), the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and the corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA) in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: In this prospective single-blinded randomized clinical trial we recruited patients with type 2 diabetes who were eligible for cataract surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups.
