| description | Vivek Pravin Dave,1 Avinash Pathengay,2 Stephen G Schwartz,3 Harry W Flynn Jr3 1Smt Kanuri Santhamma Center for Vitreoretinal Diseases, 2Vitreo-Retina and Uveitis Service, LV Prasad Eye Institute, GMR Varalakshmi Campus, Visakhapatnam, India; 3Department of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA Abstract: Endophthalmitis following pars plana vitrectomy is a very uncommon cause of endophthalmitis. Cases reported over the last decade show a decrease in incidence over time. To optimize visual outcome, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. In this review we report a summary of the incidence of endophthalmitis following vitrectomy, various risk factors for their occurrence, the microbiological profile and the visual outcomes post treatment. Keywords: endophthalmitis, pars plana vitrectomy, visual outcome, prophylaxis, risk factors, sutureless vitrectomy |
