Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe a case of long-term observation without topical antibiotic prophylaxis for asymptomatic scleral exoplant exposure.

METHODS: The medical records of a patient with long-term observation for asymptomatic scleral exoplant exposure were reviewed.

RESULTS: No complications or clinical changes were noted throughout a 36-month course of observation for exoplant exposurei.

CONCLUSION: Simple observation of asymptomatic scleral exoplant exposure is an alternative to observation with topical antibiotic prophylaxis if exoplant removal is deferred.
