  • Title: Aspergillus endophthalmitis after sutureless cataract surgery.
    Author: Oxford KW, Abbott RL, Fung WE, Ellis DS.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1995 Oct; 120(4):534-5. PubMed ID: 7573317.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We studied a case of Aspergillus endophthalmitis after sutureless cataract surgery. METHODS: A patient underwent sutureless phacoemulsification complicated by a posterior capsular tear. She subsequently developed Aspergillus endophthalmitis. Amphotericin B was injected intravitreally at the time of repeat pars plana vitrectomy. RESULTS: The eye was enucleated because of pain and poor response to treatment. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend suturing the wound in any eye that has experienced a complication of surgery.
