Abstract

Treatment outcomes are highly variable and are related to the infecting organism as well as the time to diagnosis and treatment. Prompt treatment is more important than any other consideration, including the decision between TAP and PPV. Treatment outcomes may be substantially worse in certain categories of endophthalmitis, such as post-traumatic and post-PPV, due to preexisting or concomitant posterior segment disease.
