cataract surgery that every ophthalmic surgeon – and patient – strives to avoid. The visual loss and debilitation that occur in a large proportion of postoperative endophthalmitis cases can be severe and irreversible.</strong></p> <p>Those most in need of the operation are often those at greatest risk, such as the elderly. Without knowing exactly how, when or why to intervene with effective prophylactic measures, virtually every surgeon today follows a standard of care that involves antisepsis and antibiotics.</p> <p>Although cataract surgery ranks among the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, data to define the most effective prophylactic measures have been nearly impossible to generate, given the large patient numbers needed to conduct clinical trials. Prevention and elimination of postoperative endophthalmitis, however, is a constant goal of every ophthalmic surgeon.</p> <p>The clinical practice of administering a direct intracameral injection of cefuroxime at the close of cataract surgery to reduce endophthalmitis rates was first implemented by a group of Swedish surgeons. The clinical benefit of this intervention seemed apparent.</p> <p>In order to test the hypothesis in a scientific manner, the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons mounted a large randomized clinical trial to evaluate the intracameral injection in a prospective, randomized fashion across nine European countries.</p> <p>Results published in 2007 unequivocally demonstrated a clinical benefit, with a five-fold reduction in postoperative endophthalmitis rates in patients who received a 1mg intracameral injection of cefuroxime at the close of cataract surgery.</p> <p><strong>In the wake of these results, a growing number of centres have adopted this method of prophylaxis, reporting even more striking effects, on occasion, than the ESCRS study itself.</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3 column"> <div class="bg-white rounded-3 p-3"> <p class="mt-2 mb-0"><strong>Project leader</strong></p> <p class="m-0">Peter Barry</p> <p class="m-0">Ireland</p> <p class="mt-2 mb-0"><strong>Status</strong></p> <p class="m-0">PROJECT COMPLETE</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="content-space-1 " style="">  <div class="overflow-hidden"> <div class="row align-items-md-center"> <div class="col-md mt-3"> <h3>Endophthalmitis Videos</h3> </div>  <div class="col-md-auto mt-3">  <div class="js-swiper-button-prev-186b0d3f-48e6-46f5-9ea2-0812a9ac9484 swiper-button-prev swiper-static-button-prev"></div> <div class="js-swiper-button-next-186b0d3f-48e6-46f5-9ea2-0812a9ac9484 swiper-button-next swiper-static-button-next"></div> </div>  </div>   <div class="swiper-center-mode-end"> <div class="js-swiper-ub-186b0d3f-48e6-46f5-9ea2-0812a9ac9484 swiper swiper-step swiper-equal-height"> <div class="swiper-wrapper">  <div class="swiper-slide pt-4 pb-8"> <div class="card card-transition"> <div class="card-pinned"> <div class="position-relative"> <a data-fslightbox="lightbox" href="#vimeo13570"> <img class="card-img-top" src="/media/qq3cgd5y/peter-barry.png?width=300&height=200&rmode=crop&bgcolor=ffffff" alt="EyeContact Interview: The Benefits of Intracameral Cefuroxime"> <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-50 translate-middle"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="64" height="64" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-play-circle-fill text-primary" viewBox="0 0 16 16"> <path d="M6.79 5.093A.5.5 0 0 0 6 5.5v5a.5.5 0 0 0 .79.407l3.5-2.5a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.814l-3.5-2.5z" /> <path d="M0 4a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v8a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H2a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V4zm15 0a1 1 0 0 0-1-1H2a1 1 0 0 0-1 1v8a1 1 0 0 0 1 1h12a1 1 0 0 0 1-1V4z" /> </svg> </div> </a>  <div class="d-none"> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/131538136" id="vimeo13570" class="fslightbox-source" width="1920" height=1080 frameBorder="0" allow="autoplay;
