Endophthalmitis after Vitrectomy and Silicone oil implant.
Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;3(3):60-1.

A non-infective endopthalmitis was recognised in silicone filled eyes. A study was initiated to assess it further. A total number of 50 cases of vitrectomy and silicone oil implant were studied for immediate post operative complications with detailed study of endophthalmitis. The incidence of endophthalmitis was found to be 7%. It was noted that endophthalmitis occurs as an infective and a non infective variety. These have different signs and symptoms and a completely different prognosis. A non infective endophthalmitis should be recognised in the immediate post operative period and its treatment gives good results.
