Endophthalmitis Associated with a Retained Cilium in the Clear Corneal Wound after Cataract Surgery

In conclusion, a retained cilium in a clear corneal wound related to cataract surgery, though rare, may result in endophthalmitis. The surgical field should be cleared of cilia on the ocular surface prior to surgery. Proper draping and use of povid one-iodine antisepsis are essential in reducing the risk of endophthalmitis.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2022;13:318 –322
