No brand-specific differences in bacterial DNA were detected in the viscoelastic materials. Staphylococcus, Cutibacterium, Flavobacterium, and Lactobacillus were the dominant contributors to the bacterial DNA detected. Although Anvision viscoelastic samples contained significantly more endotoxin than Hyvisc® viscoelastic samples, endotoxin concentrations were below the FDA limit of 0.2 EU/mL for both manufacturers. These data further the understanding of inflammatory outcomes following cataract surgery.
