A nurse reported that two days after a cataract with iol (intraocular lens) implantation procedure on the right eye, a patient presented with corneal edema and vitritis which the surgeon associated with fibrin tass (toxic anterior segment syndrome) or early onset endophthalmitis.A tap with culture was performed and the patient received antibiotic injections.The patient was also given a topical steroid every hour and a topical antibiotic four times daily postoperatively.The patient's vision was noted to be improving with a "good" prognosis.No samples are expected to be returned for this report.Upon follow up it was informed that the tap culture was negative.There are no additional details available.This is the first of three reports from this facility for the same event.This report is for the consumable pack.
