    Summary

    This study reports 15 cases of chronic inflammation in the eye (vitritis) after cataract surgery. While vitrectomy may aid vision, effective treatments for complications like cystoid maculopathy remain elusive.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Inflammatory Eye Disease

    Context:

    • Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
    • Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation is standard.
    • Chronic endocular inflammation (vitritis) can occur post-operatively.

    Purpose:

    • To report on 15 cases of chronic vitritis following cataract surgery.
    • To identify complications and potential treatments.

    Summary:

    • Fifteen cases of chronic vitritis after extracapsular cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation are presented.
    • Cultures from aqueous and vitreous taps were negative, likely due to late sampling.
    • Retinal detachment and cystoid maculopathy were the primary complications.

    Impact:

    • Vitrectomy may improve vision for affected patients.
    • Retinal detachment is treatable, often requiring complex surgery.
    • No effective treatment was found for post-operative cystoid maculopathy.
