[Medical and surgical treatment of acute postoperative endophthalmitis]

Abstract

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but dreadful complication of intraocular surgeries. These clinical presentations should be managed emergently with medical treatment in every case and surgical treatment in selected cases according to clinical criteria, which are still under debate. In this article, we report what was presented on this topic in the annual report at the 2024 French Society of Ophthalmology congress.
