    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study details managing pseudophakic endophthalmitis by removing the intraocular lens and performing vitrectomy with antibiotics. This approach successfully cleared infection and improved visualization in two cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pseudophakic endophthalmitis is a serious complication after cataract surgery.
    • Extracapsular surgery with posterior chamber lens insertion carries a risk of infection.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of endophthalmitis occurred post-surgery.
    • Patients presented with signs of intraocular infection.

    Findings:

    • A treatment strategy involving intraocular lens removal, vitrectomy, and intravitreal antibiotics was employed.
    • This management approach facilitated easy removal of the lens, capsule, and membranes.
    • Corneal clarity was maintained, enhancing fundus visualization and removing infection source.

    Implications:

    • This method offers a viable option for managing pseudophakic endophthalmitis.
