Summary

Endophthalmitis occurred in 0.84% of lens operations between 1993-1995. While most patients received antibiotics, outcomes varied, with 70% achieving visual acuity better than 2/60.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of lens operations at University Eye Clinic Bratislava (1993-1995).
  • Total of 2374 lens operations performed during the study period.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of endophthalmitis following lens operations.
  • To analyze outcomes and complications associated with endophthalmitis post-lens surgery.

Summary:

  • Endophthalmitis occurred in 20 eyes (0.84%) after lens operations, irrespective of surgical complications.
  • Patients were treated with antibiotics (local and parenteral); nine received steroids without pars plana vitrectomy.
  • Outcomes included evisceration in one eye, retinal detachment in two eyes, and visual impairment in others. Nine eyes recovered without complications.

Impact:

  • 70% of affected eyes achieved a final visual acuity better than 2/60.
  • 50% of affected eyes achieved a final visual acuity better than 6/36.
  • Highlights the importance of monitoring and managing endophthalmitis after lens surgery.
