Two-Decade Retrospective Analysis of Postoperative Endophthalmitis at a Tertiary Care Academic Center: Microbial Spectrum, Treatment Modalities, and Visual Outcomes

Visual outcomes were significantly influenced by diabetes mellitus, poor visual acuity at initial presentation, and delayed-onset endophthalmitis, underscoring the importance of timely and tailored management strategies.
