Controversies in the management of endophthalmitis: a 5-year retrospective cohort study
This study supports performing early PPV combined with intravitreal antibiotics as an effective primary treatment to improve visual outcomes in post-operative endophthalmitis. Negative prognostic factors included hypopyon, elevated intraocular pressure, and a surgical history of more than seven days. Management should prioritize clinical signs over microbiological culture results to prevent delays in treatment.
