Postcataract acute endophthalmitis in France: National prospective survey

The ONDE study disclosed important changes in French ophthalmic surgical practice 15 years after the first prospective endophthalmitis survey and 12 years after a United States study were published. Progress toward standardization of preventive methods (eg, patient information, increased systemic antibiotic efficacy, more frequent corticosteroid use) has contributed to fewer vitrectomies.
