Abstract
Glaucoma surgery is performed widely in our country and all around the world to lower the intraocular pressure in refractory glaucoma. Glaucoma drainage implant surgery has a special and important place among glaucoma surgeries. Among various complications, endophthalmitis is a rare but the most devastating complication after glaucoma drainage implantation. In this review, the clinical characteristics and treatment options of endophthalmitis after glaucoma drainage implant surgery are discussed according to recent literature.
