Purpose: To organize, categorize, and create a quick reference guide for the use of intravitreal antibiotic alternatives to the standard combination of vancomycin and ceftazidime for the treatment of endophthalmitis.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The authors searched for all available information regarding intravitreal antibiotics in the last 21 years.
Purpose: To assess the feasibility of a novel surgical technique that combines B-scan ultrasound with modern vitrectomy techniques.
Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of infectious keratitis endophthalmitis, which were scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy and ruled out as candidates for transient keratoprosthesis, were enrolled. The ultrasound probe was placed over the eye to use the images to witness the vitreous movement around the cutter and to establish its position in relation to the retinal wall.
