Similar endophthalmitis rates seen in operating rooms, offices after intravitreal injections
Rates of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections were similarly low in operating room settings and office settings, according to a study. “Although many of these precautions make clinical sense, there is no direct evidence that precautions, such as use of a surgical drape, sterile gloves, face masks, preinjection antibiotics, nor postinjection antibiotics make a clinically significant difference to the rate of endophthalmitis,” the study authors said.
