Immediate diagnosis and treatment can provide optimal final vision. This research aimed to describe the demographic data, and causative microorganisms, as well as the success rate of visual outcome after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis underwent vitrectomy in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, from January 2017 - June 2017.

Results: There were twenty one cases of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis undergoes PPV within the period of January 2017-June 2017. The most frequently identified causative microorganism was Staphylococcus (23%). There was an improvement of visual acuity after PPV procedure in 47,6% post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis.
