[Vitreoretinal complications of cataract surgery. II. Subluxation of the lens, endophthalmitis].

The second evaluated group of vitreoretinal complications after cataract surgery were patients with lens luxation into the vitreous body. During the investigation period the authors treated two cases of luxation of the patient's own lens into the vitreous body and three cases of luxation of intraocular lenses, a total of five eyes, i.e. 0.06% of all operated cataracts. The third group was formed by five patients with postoperative endophthalmitis which was treated by pars plana vitrectomy and intraocular ATB administration in a permanent infusion (Vancomycin 20 mg/500 ml). The frequency of postoperative endophthalmitis treated by PPV was 0.06%. The final mean visus was 0.21.
