Abstract
Postoperative infective scleritis is a rare entity, often reported following pterygium surgery involving anti-metabolites. Infective scleritis following hordeolum has not been reported before. We report a case of hordeolum externum that developed 3 days post uneventful vitreoretinal surgery that led to sclerotomy site infection. The condition was managed successfully with topical and systemic antimicrobials based on microbiology. This case also highlights the importance of proper examination of the lid, adnexa, and sclerotomy sites in the postoperative period.
