Summary:[...]the conclusion of their study might be more confined to culture-positive rather than acute clinical endophthalmitis cases that we encounter in our practice. [...]as the controls were not matched with age, gender, or ocular characteristics, Monte Carlo simulations were used in the study for varying the proportions of clear corneal incision and suture presence.
