Intraocular pressure outcomes after endophthalmitis associated with glaucoma surgery.

Purpose: To determine long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes and risk factors for failure of IOP control in patients with previous glaucoma surgery that was complicated with infectious endophthalmitis.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective case series of 12 patients with previous glaucoma surgery that presented with infectious endophthalmitis to the University Hospital, Newark, NJ between 1995 and 2006. IOP control failure was stratified into 2 groups: IOP of ≥22 mm Hg and IOP ≥16 mm Hg at 3 consecutive follow-up visits.
