Abstract
Endophthalmitis carries a poor visual prognosis for patients and can be a potentially blinding condition that may result in loss of the eye. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are imperative to save the eye. Delay in diagnosis affects visual prognosis and therefore doctors should be aware of the presenting features of endophthalmitis. Urgent ophthalmic referral is advised as soon as a diagnosis is suspected.
