摘要：

We report the first case of streptococcal endophthalmitis after uneventful right bimanual phaco-emulsification. Microincision cataract surgery is perceived to be minimally invasive as smaller wounds are equated to shortened healing time, increased safety, and reduced risk for postoperative endophthalmitis. Recommendations for modifications in wound construction are discussed.
