Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe a case of sterile endophthalmitis after repeated intravitreal bevacizumab injections for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks. This study was done as a case report. A 57-year-old man who received a third injection of intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization owing to angioid streaks developed sterile endophthalmitis. The patient's condition improved after hourly topical steroid and antibiotic drops without a sequele. The intravitreal injection of bevacizumab has the potential for the development of sterile endophthalmitis. The patients should be warned against this possible adverse reaction, especially after repeated injections.
