Abstract. Purpose:To report clinical features of cases that needed vitrectomy for bleb-related endophthalmitis. Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 7 eyes of 7 cases that received vitrectomy for endophthalmitis after trebeculectomy in the past 11 years. Results:The series comprised 4 males and 3 females. The age ranged from 58 to 82 years, average 65 years. There were one phakic, one aphakic and 5 pseudophakic eyes. Six eyes had open-angle glaucoma and one had neovascular glaucoma. Infection occurred 3 to 84 months after trabeculectomy in all the eyes and 3 years or over after surgery in 5 cases. Intraocular pressure(IOP)was 2 to 25 mmHg at the time of infection. The glaucoma was in stage Ⅲb in all the eyes. Final visual acuity was counting fingers or less in 5 eyes and 0.5 or over in 2 eyes. The outcome was not related to initial visual acuity or IOP. Six cases were in immunocompromised state. Three cases were living in nursing facilities and were not cared by ophthalmologist. Conclusion:Infection of the bleb occurred months or years after trabeculectomy and was not associated with elevated IOP.
