What Causes Streptococcus Salivarius Of The Eye After Cataract Surgery?

1 day after cataract surgery I developed streptococcus salivarius of eye. My capsule was ruptured, phaco machine broke, surgery time over 2 hours. Have elongated eye. No vision, only a little light perception. I am so lost & distraught over the loss of my eyesite. Do you know of other patients that this happened to? The odds are so minimal for this type of infection do you know of other patients, and if they concluded how it happened? This has changed me so much, very hard to accept.
