Abstract

Although we managed a patient with traumatic endophthalmitis with potent antibiotics for 7 days topically and systemically, her clinical symtoms and signs did not improved and her visual activity decreased from hand motion to light perception. So, we performed pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy using the Ocutome(R) and Frognatome(TM) and achieved a successful result with final visual acuity of 50 cm finger count or better without evidence of phthisis bulbi in this case.
