Endophthalmitis rates after secondary intraocular lens surgeries: 11-year Medicare fee-for-service analysis
The overall POE rate for all secondary IOL surgeries was 0.31% during the 11-year period. We hypothesize that the absence of the posterior capsular barrier would explain the higher POE rates compared with cataract surgery, especially if a concurrent vitrectomy was performed with the secondary IOL procedure.
