ABSTRACT
Endophthalmitis is a severe and unfortunate complication after glaucoma filtering surgery which may present months to years after the initial surgical intervention. Amniotic membrane is immunologically inert and has antiadhesive and wound-protectioning effects. Furthermore, it reduces pain and helps epithelization. So several reports disclosed the uses of amniotic membrane in transplantation for reconstruction of various ocular surface diseases recently. We report the usefulness of antibiotics-soaked amniotic membrane transplatation for endophthalmitis with bleb rupture 4 years after trabeculectomy.
