Too busy to read the Lens? Listen to our weekly summary here! In this week’s episode we discuss:

• The risk of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery is significantly greater in eyes with uveitis, corticosteroid use, and immunosuppressant use.

• Pediatric patients who undergo lensectomy for traumatic cataracts have low likelihood of achieving age-normal visual acuity, with nearly 50% requiring a secondary surgery for visual axis opacification. 

• Fishing-related ocular injuries are on the decline, however they continue to be a large cause of corneal abrasions, contusions, and intraocular foreign bodies. Fishhooks and lures are the most common culprits.
