Abstract:
Traumatic eye injury-related endophthalmitis is a serious traumatic complication that threatens the vision of many patients worldwide. Herein, we present two cases of traumatic endophthalmitis that underwent 0.025% povidone-iodine treatment and hoped to introduce the bactericidal effect of 0.025% povidone-iodine in balanced salt solution PLUS (0.025% PI-BSS PLUS) and its use in vitrectomy for traumatic endophthalmitis. The 0.025% PI-BSS PLUS solution is bactericidal and nontoxic when used as an irrigation solution in pars plana vitrectomy. The two cases of traumatic endophthalmitis were resolved by pars plana vitrectomy using 0.025% PI-BSS PLUS.
