Abstract
Purpose: To report a case complicated with culture-positive bacterial endophthalmitis and retinal detachment following implantation of a Staar intraocular Collamer lens (ICL) of the right eye. Methods: The patient presented 2 weeks after uneventful sutureless surgery with decreased visual acuity, redness, and photosensitivity and hypopyon. Prompted pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and intravitreal injection of antibiotic agents. Vitreous culture was positive for coagulase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis. Three months later, he presented with blurry vision and the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/200; retinal detachment (RD) was observed. RD was managed surgically. Result: At the most recent visit, the UCVA was 20/30 with stable ICL and quiet eye. Conclusion: Bacterial endophthalmitis and retinal detachment are a potential complication of ICL implantation. A proper treatment of postoperative complications is the key role in saving vision. Preoperative counseling of postoperative complications is an important aspect before any intraocular
