Abstract
To present the case of a patient who developed bleb-related endophthalmitis after an intravitreal injection using the InVitria injection guide, alongside a review of the literature on bleb-related endophthalmitis. Our case is presented in context of the current literature on bleb-related endophthalmitis. Bleb-related endophthalmitis occurs in up to 2% of eyes within 5 years of filtering glaucoma surgery. Risk factors include bleb leakage, use of anti-fibrinolytic agents, blepharitis, hypotony, and nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Our patient presented with a bleb leak and bleb-related endophthalmitis 2 weeks after an intravitreal injection using the InVitria injection guide. Injection guides can cause bleb trauma and resulting bleb leakage. They should be avoided in patients with filtering glaucoma surgery.
