Aspergillus endophthalmitis after sutureless cataract surgery.

PURPOSE: We studied a case of Aspergillus endophthalmitis after sutureless cataract surgery. METHODS: A patient underwent sutureless phacoemulsification complicated by a posterior capsular tear. She subsequently developed Aspergillus endophthalmitis. Amphotericin B was injected intravitreally at the time of repeat pars plana vitrectomy. RESULTS: The eye was enucleated because of pain and poor response to treatment. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend suturing the wound in any eye that has experienced a complication of surgery.
