Vitrectomy with intraocular antibiotics effectively treats endophthalmitis, preserving ambulatory vision in 72% of patients. Good outcomes are achievable even with severe streptococcal infections.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Treatment

Context:

  • Endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection often resulting from surgery or trauma.
  • Prompt and effective treatment is crucial to prevent vision loss.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the visual outcomes of vitrectomy in patients with endophthalmitis.
  • To assess the efficacy of intraocular and systemic antibiotics in conjunction with surgical intervention.

Summary:

  • This retrospective study analyzed 18 patients with endophthalmitis treated with vitrectomy and antibiotics.
  • Causative organisms included coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.
  • 72% of patients achieved a visual acuity of 20/400 or better post-vitrectomy.
