The BD Luer-Lok syringe is associated with a lower incidence of aflibercept-related sterile endophthalmitis than the conventional polypropylene syringe. Differences in immunogenicity associated with silicone oil lubricants within the syringes might be one of the potential reasons behind the difference in the incidence of the sterile endophthalmitis.
