Outcomes of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair Following Infectious Endophthalmitis.

Redetachment occurred in half of eyes that underwent surgical repair of RRD after endophthalmitis. Early vitrectomy, with or without prior vitreous tap, was not associated with a higher risk of redetachment and improved the likelihood of a positive culture result. Culture data can aid in risk stratification, as organism virulence was a risk factor for recurrent RRD. While visual outcomes were generally poor, the majority of retinas remained attached at the last visit.
