Supplementary Material for: Presumed Capsular-Bag–Origin Endophthalmitis Following Anterior Vitrectomy for Posterior Capsule Opacification in a Patient with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy: A Case
Version 1Purpose: To report a rare case of presumed postoperative endophthalmitis after anterior vitrectomy (AVit) for dense posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in a patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Observations: A 52-year-old woman with long-standing diabetes and prior pan-retinal photocoagulation and pars plana vitrectomy with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation developed visually significant, fibrotic PCO in the right eye.
