Approach to Cataract Surgery in an Ebola Virus Disease Survivor with Prior Ocular Viral Persistence (vol 26, 10.3201/eid2607.191559, 2020)

A 46-year-old patient with previously documented Ebola virus persistence in his ocular fluid, associated with severe panuveitis, developed a visually significant cataract. A multidisciplinary approach was taken to prevent and control infection. Ebola virus persistence was assessed before and during the operation to provide safe, vision-restorative phacoemulsification surgery.
