Management of endophthalmitis related to glaucoma drainage devices: review of the literature and our experience.

Glaucoma drainage device (GDD)-related endophthalmitis is a devastating complication of device implantation. There are no guidelines in the literature to assist clinicians in deciding if the GDD should be explanted or if patients require pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). This study compares the outcomes of GDD explantation with device retention and also independently compares the outcomes of PPV versus intravitreal antibiotics alone in patients with GDD-related endophthalmitis.

Phthisis Bulbi in a Retinitis Pigmentosa Patient after Argus II Implantation.

Heavy silicone oil tamponade after failed macular hole surgery with perfluoropropane (C3F8): a report of five cases.

Unlabelled: We report five cases of persistent macular holes following conventional surgery. Subsequent management included pars plana vitrectomy, extended Trypan Blue-assisted ILM peel and heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade with supine posture.

Purpose: To report results of redo macular hole surgery using heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade.
