“…It has been frequently reported after adult cataract surgery, but in our study it also developed following paediatric cataract surgery 9. No definite systemic association of TASS has been found previously, however, diabetes and hypertension have been considered a significant association 10.…”
Timely diagnosis, steroid therapy and close monitoring are the main keys for properly managing TASS. To our knowledge, we report, for the first time, the largest cluster of UZS occurring as a sequel of TASS.

“…It has been frequently reported after adult cataract surgery and it has also been seen following paediatric cataract surgery. 2,3 TASS has been attributed to the introduction of toxins into the eye during surgery from glove talc, surgical instruments, drugs used intra-operatively, denatured ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVD) etc. In severe cases residual sequelae such as permanent corneal oedema and glaucoma occur.…”
“…2 TASS can occur after any kind of anterior segment surgery, but it occurs particularly after cataract surgery. 18 Prompt diagnosis and treatment of TASS may preserve the eye from permanent damage. Differentiating TASS from postoperative endophthalmitis is crucial at this point.…”
The results of the histologic evaluation of the decompensated corneas caused by the TASS are compatible with the clinical severity of the disease. In mild cases, the histologic findings were insignificant; however, when the clinical situation deteriorated, histologic findings became increasingly worse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
