    Phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis, a severe inflammation after cataract surgery, can be effectively treated. Total posterior capsular excision alongside lens removal offers a favorable outcome for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical complications

    Background:

    • Phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis is a rare but serious inflammatory reaction following cataract surgery.
    • It can occur after the use of intraocular lenses (IOLs) and incomplete removal of lens cortex.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of pseudophakic phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis were observed.
    • Both cases involved inflammation secondary to retained lens material and IOLs.

    Findings:

    • A favorable response was achieved through total posterior capsulotomy.
    • Surgical intervention included removal of the intraocular lens and remaining cortical material.

    Implications:

    • Complete excision of the posterior capsule, including anterior capsular flaps and entrapped cortex, is crucial for managing phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis.
