A non-infective endophthalmitis was recognised in silicone filled eyes. A study was initiated to assess it further. A total number of 50 cases of vitrectomy and silicone oil implant were studied for immediate post-operative complications with detailed study of endophthalmitis. The incidence of endophthalmitis was found to be 6%. It was noted that endophthalmitis occurs as an infective and a non-infective variety. These have different signs and symptoms and a completely different prognosis. A non-infective endophthalmitis should be recognised in the immediate post operative period and its treatment gives good results.Downloads
