Abstract
To report a case of presumed sterile endophthalmitis after intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. Observational case report. Review of clinical examination, ocular imaging, and published literature. A 67-year-old woman with early cataracts presented with decreased vision in the left eye related to vitreomacular adhesion. She was treated with intravitreal ocriplasmin injection and developed a severe anterior chamber inflammatory reaction in less than 24 hours after the injection. Inflammation responded completely to topical steroids alone, without topical or intravitreal antibiotics. Patients treated with intravitreal ocriplasmin may develop an acute inflammatory reaction, which can be severe.
