PURPOSE: To evaluate the frequency and outcomes of acute-onset endophthalmitis following combined pars plana vitrectomy and scleral fixation of intraocular lens.
METHODS: We evaluated patients undergoing a sutureless, glueless, flapless technique of scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (SFIOL) implantation for various causes of aphakia and documented the clinico-demographic data, microbiological profile and final outcome after acute endophthalmitis in this cohort of eyes.
RESULTS: The frequency of suspected acute endophthalmitis diagnosed post-surgery was 0.112% (4/3541 eyes), with culture-positive endophthalmitis frequency being 0.028% (1 eye), showing growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mean age of patients with endophthalmitis was 51.75 ± 9.28 years, and mean interval between surgery and acute endophthalmitis presentation was 10.25 ± 9.6 days. Patients were managed with intravitreal antibiotics with or without core vitrectomy. Visual acuity of patients increased from baseline 1.43 ± 0.32 logMAR (Snellen equivalent = 6/150) to 0.79 ± 0.16 logMAR (Snellen equivalent = 6/36) after an average follow-up of 11 ± 2 weeks.
CONCLUSION: Endophthalmitis is a rare complication following SFIOL surgery, and all ophthalmic surgeons must be aware of this inadvertent possibility, since SFIOLs are gaining wider acceptability recently. Moreover, these cases of endophthalmitis may show a different pattern of microorganisms than post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis; however, with prompt diagnosis and effective timely management, favorable outcomes can be achieved.
