摘要

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), considered to be the most famous composer of sacred music, died in 1750 due to an infection resulting from a failed cataract surgery. Even today, with the aid of antibiotics and modern surgical techniques, the risk of endophthalmitis (inflammation of the tissues within the eyeball) in cataract surgery has not been completely overcome. In a 2013 ESCRS study, Peter Barry showed that intracameral cefuroxime (an antibiotic) administered at the time of surgery significantly reduces the risk for developing endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.
