Purpose: Clinical presentation, treatment choices, and outcomes in cases of bleb-related endophthalmitis (BRE) at a tertiary care center over a 9-year period are described. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients diagnosed with BRE at Duke Eye Center (Durham, North Carolina) from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2018, with at least 6 months of follow-up, assessing demographic data, initial management, and visual acuity (VA). Results: Twenty eyes of 20 patients with BRE were identified. Median time from surgery to presentation was 6.53 years. Presenting VA of light perception only was significantly associated with the decision to pursue pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) as initial treatment (odds ratio 59.4, 95% CI, 2.1-1670.8, P = .016). Twelve eyes (60%) had culture-proven infectious endophthalmitis. Eleven eyes (55%) underwent PPV during treatment; 5 eyes underwent PPV on presentation, and 6 eyes underwent PPV after initial presentation. Compared with pre-endophthalmitis VA, 6 eyes that underwent subsequent PPV had greater VA loss at 6 months than cases not undergoing subsequent PPV (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study line loss of 14 vs 4 lines, respectively; P = .044). Conclusions: BRE eyes presenting with light-perception VA were more likely to undergo initial PPV; yet many eyes in this study required PPV during treatment. Visual outcomes are often poor in BRE despite intensive management. There was greater VA loss from pre-endophthalmitis VA levels at 6 months in eyes undergoing PPV after initial treatment. Prospective studies are needed to assess the optimal role of PPV in patients with BRE.
