Abstract
- Endophthalmitis following the filtering surgery is rare and the visual prognosis is reported to be very poor. In many cases the infection starts in the bleb. Methods of treatment should be chosen according to the type and stage of infection, but the prompt use of appropriate antibiotic and corticosteroid is important. This report presents a case of endophthalmitis following trabeculectomy in a 61-year old female patient, which was successfully treated.
