Endophthalmitis After Dexamethasone Implant

The rate of dexamethasone implant-related endophthalmitis is 0.16% which is higher than other intravitreal injections reported in the literature, with considerably poor visual outcomes. The vitreous diagnostic samples are culture-positive in 87% of cases (13/15), with 46.7% (7/15) isolating Staphylococcus epidermidis.
