Abstract

Purpose: To report the visual acuity outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy for delayed vitreoretinal sequelae of infectious endophthalmitis. All eyes were initially treated with intravitreal antibiotics (Abx). Methods: Multicenter, retrospective, consecutive case series. Results: Forty-two eyes met the study criteria. The mean follow-up was 48 weeks (SD ± 61.8). Mean interval from Abx to pars plana vitrectomy was 13 weeks (SD ± 14.3, range 2- 70). Indications for pars plana vitrectomy included vitreous opacities (VO) (n = 22), epiretinal membrane (n = 9), and retinal detachment (n = 11). LogMAR visual acuity improved from 1.87 (Snellen equivalent: 20/1,482) preoperatively to 1.35 (Snellen equivalent: 20/447) at final evaluation (P< 0.001). LogMAR visual acuity improved significantly for patients with vitreous opacities (P<0.01) and retinal detachment (P = 0.02) but not for patients with epiretinal membranes (P = 0.08). Conclusion: Patients with infectious endophthalmitis can gain vision if they have a pars plana vitrectomy for delayed sequelae such as vitreous opacities or for retinal detachment.
