Abstract
The modified sterilization and asepsis protocol adopted to facilitate high-volume cataract surgery in a clinical setting appeared to be safe and effective in preventing postsurgical endophthalmitis. Despite a 3:1 ratio of manual ECCE to phacoemulsification and the elimination of certain traditional sterilization practices, the rate of endophthalmitis in this generally underserved patient population with multiple risk factors for infection was comparable to that reported in other modern settings.
