ABSTRACT

The bleb-associated infections are severe complications after glaucoma filtering surgery, with poor visual prognosis. An update literature review was made to describe the main risks factors, causal germs, clinical manifestations, treatment and the prognosis of the blebitis and bleb-associated endophthalmitis. The early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of blebitis prevent the occurrence of endophthalmitis and consequent visual loss.
