Purpose: To analyze the latest annual trends in immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) and delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS) among patients with bilateral cataracts in Korea, and to identify the factors influencing the choice of surgery and the outcomes associated with ISBCS and DSBCS.
Methods: This retrospective, nationwide cohort study included all patients aged 65 and older who were covered by the Korean National Health Insurance and underwent ISBCS or DSBCS from 2016 to 2021. The study recorded yearly numbers of ISBCS and DSBCS procedures, the interval between surgeries in DSBCS cases, patient demographics, types of implanted intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the incidence of cystoid macular edema and endophthalmitis following ISBCS or DSBCS.

Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is caused by a breach of the blood-ocular barrier by pathogens originating from distant sites. It is a rare cause of endophthalmitis and can lead to devastating outcomes without prompt and adequate treatment. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of type II diabetes mellitus who experienced an episode of acute myocardial infarction complicated by an acute exacerbation of chronic kidney disease, catheter-related infection, bloodstream infection, bacterial endocarditis, and bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis confirmed by blood culture and bilateral vitreous culture showing growth of methicillin-sensitive (MSSA).
