Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study: Effectiveness of Guidelines in Cases of Endophthalmitis Following Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery
Journal Title: International Journal of Stem Cell Research and Transplantation (IJST) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To validate Endophthalmitis vitrectomy study guidelines in cases of post-operative endophthalmitis following Manual small incision cataract surgery. Setting: Tertiary eye care centre in western central India Participants: 36 eyes with endophthalmitis following Manual small incision cataract surgery. Methods: We enrolled all post cataract endophthalmitis patients following manual small incision cataract surgery with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Treatment planned according to severity as in Endophthalmitis vitrectomy study, all eyes are given intra vitrealvancomycine+ceftazidim injection using standard protocol and dosages. Patients who have visual acuity more than hand motion were treated only with intravitreal injections and patients who had only perception of light undergone vitrectomy. Patients who were not ready for surgical intervention excluded from analyses of visual outcome. Patients were followed up according to standard schedule and protocol.
