Epidemiology and Demographics
In 1910, the incidence of post-cataract endophthalmitis was estimated 10,000 cases per 100,000 individuals with cataract surgery. In developed country between 970-1990, the incidence of post-cataract endophthalmitis was estimated to range from 72 to 120 cases per 100,000 individuals with cataract surgery. Since the introduction of phacoemulsification and clear cornea incision, the incidence of post-cataract endophthalmitis was estimated to range from 300 to 500 cases per 100,000 individuals with cataract surgery.[1][2]
