Abstract

Among the complication of filtering surgery for glaucoma, late bacterial endophthalmitis is relatively uncommon, but very disatrous and so requires a prompt and vigorous treatment. Recently, authors experienced 2 cases of late onset endophthalmitis, each developed 13 years and 15 years after filtering surgery. And we performed pars plana vitrectomy as well as medical treatment. These cases had a good response to our medical and surgical treatment with no loss of vision.
