Table of contents

Patients who are debilitated, septicemic bacteria in the bloodstream , and who have weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible, especially after surgical procedures. Loss of vitreous gel also referred to as vitreous humor , disrupted posterior capsule , poor wound closure, and prolonged surgery are risk factors for developing endophthalmitis. To determine what organism has caused the infection, a biopsy of the fluid within your eye needs to be obtained. This fluid is then sent to the laboratory for a determination and to decide on the best treatment.

In acute cases, treating endophthalmitis is an emergency and needs to be performed as soon as possible. The procedure performed will depend on your vision.

If your vision is very poor, you will need to undergo an emergency surgery called a vitrectomy to remove the infectious debris from your eye and to inject antibiotics or antifungal agents directly inside your eye. Cases with better vision may only require an injection of antibiotics or antifungal agents in the office. In rare cases, only antibiotic eye drops are required. The prognosis depends on the cause, duration, and type of organism that caused the infection.
