Abstract
- In this case series, 3 unique cases of severe immune-mediated pathologies (primary ocular lymphoma, toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis, and syphilitic retinitis) after dropless cataract surgery with intraocular steroid injection are reported. Patient immune status and subsequent local immunosuppression after dropless cataract surgery played roles in the worsening of these pathologies. This report demonstrates the need for vigilance when administering immunosuppressive agents locally during cataract surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
