What is Blebitis?
The term blebitis was introduced in 1994 by Brown et al. to describe a presumed infection in or around a filtering bleb without vitreous involvement; it could be associated with mild to moderate anterior chamber (AC) reaction.
What is an encapsulated bleb?
A bleb usually forms at the site of operation, indicating aqueous drainage from the eyes. Trabeculectomy blebs can become encapsulated leading to poor drainage and high intraocular pressure. Some ophthalmologists needle encapsulated blebs in order to re-establish drainage and lower intraocular pressure.
What causes eye blebs?
The bacteria that cause bleb-related endophthalmitis almost certainly arise from the ocular flora, be they transient or permanent. Certain microorganisms such us Streptococcal species can spread through the intact conjunctiva17,14 and then enter the eye through the sclerostomy.
What is a filtering bleb?
Trabeculectomy is a filtering surgery where an ostium is created into the anterior chamber from underneath a partial thickness scleral flap to allow for aqueous flow out of the eye. The aqueous flows into the subconjunctival space, usually leading to an elevation of the conjunctiva, referred to as a filtering bleb.
