“…Lack of compliance with postoperative care recommendations, including the avoidance of eye rubbing and non-adherence to topical treatments, may increase the risk of early infection in children. Generally, incisions heal insufficiently during the first postoperative month and conjunctival dehiscence allows ocular infiltration of bacterial agents through the ocular surface (8) . The most frequently isolated organisms in cases of endophthalmitis following the insertion of glaucoma drainage implants in children are Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or both.…”

“…The most frequently isolated organisms in cases of endophthalmitis following the insertion of glaucoma drainage implants in children are Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or both. These organisms are components of the normal bacterial flora of the conjunctiva and upper respiratory tract (8) . Orbital cellulitis in children is typically secondary to sinusitis, with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes isolated in 75% of cases (9) .…”

“…Early postoperative endophthalmitis may be associated with host flora while late onset endophthalmitis is more common in thin-walled and leaky blebs that allow trans-conjuctival migration of bacteria (Gedde et al 2001). Diminution of vision may be seen secondary to suprachoroidal hemorrhage, corneal edema, cataract, band shaped keratopathy and cystoid macular edema.…”
