Importance: Although the effectiveness of intracameral antibiotics to prevent postoperative endophthalmitis is described, selective use of antibiotics combined with 1% povidone iodine disinfection might be equally effective and could lead to cost reduction and avoidance of unnecessary use of antibiotics.
Objective: To compare the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis when 1% povidone iodine disinfection is applied in combination with selective intracameral antibiotics with the incidence after routine use of intracameral antibiotics in combination with 5% povidone iodine.
Design, Setting, And Participant: This was a retrospective cohort study using incidence data from the ongoing endophthalmitis register of the Rotterdam Eye Hospital, a specialized hospital providing both secondary and tertiary ophthalmological care, when intracameral antibiotics were used only during cataract procedures with occurrence of a posterior capsular tear in comparison with results from cohorts described in the literature where routine antibiotics were used.
