Staphylococcus epidermidisendophthalmitis developed nine days after surgery in a 47-year-old man who underwent a 16-incision radial keratotomy during which the cornea was inadvertently perforated. The anterior chamber showed marked cellular reaction and flare and there was a 5% hypopyon inferiorly. There was also a marked cellular reaction in the vitreous, which contained many fluffy white balls. Visual acuity decreased to counting fingers at 1 foot. A pars plana vitrectomy and intraocularly, periocularly, intravenously, and topically administered antibiotics resulted in recovery of the visual acuity to 6/9 (20/30). |
