Postoperative Endophthalmitis (Infection) Managed With Vitrectomy With Excellent Result (Ref No:10-01965)
- This 56 year old male came to me on 23-09-10 with a complaint of diminished vision in left eye post cataract surgery which was done on 21-09-10. Vision in left eye was Hand movement.
- He had white pus (hypopyon) in the front of the eye, and fundal glow was seen.
- He was initially started with intravenous antibiotics. With that, the pus in front of eye had started clearing, but vitreous was not clearing so he underwent core vitrectomy on 29-09-2010.
- There was incomplete posterior vitreous detachment ( as also seen on Bscan done preoperatively). No vigorous attempts to induce posterior vitreous detachment were made.
- He underwent Revitrectomy for Endophthalmitis on 7-10-10.
- Post operatively he has recovered full vision to 6/6P,N6 in left eye.
