Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, 09/02/09
Gungel H et al. – Endophthalmitis developed in the eye and was treated by pars plana vitrectomy, IOL extraction, and intravitreal antibiotic injection. Haptic repositioning was performed in the right eye. In this report, authors assess the possibility that exposure of the angle–supported AC IOL haptics caused the endophthalmitis. The authors hypothesized that vigorous rubbing of the eye of the atopic patient might cause limbal erosion that could lead to exposure of the angle–supported AC IOL haptic through the limbus.
