Post-operative bacterial endophthalmitis
Abstract
This paper critically reviews current practice in the United Kingdom in the presence of post-operative bacterial endophthalmitis. An appropriate therapeutic regime is suggested and the value of vitrectomy is emphasised together with the importance of the administration of intra-vitreal and intra-venous antibiotics.
