Objective: To perform a systematic literature review analyzing visual outcomes of immediate, early, and delayed vitrectomy in the treatment of acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections.
Methods: We conducted a literature search using the Ovid Medline, Embase.com, and Web of Science databases, and relevant articles were selected from original English papers published from 2005 to 2021.
Purpose: To determine if intravitreal injection of antibiotics alone versus early pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) plus injection of intravitreal antibiotics predicted better or worse visual outcomes for patients with endophthalmitis after anti-VEGF injections.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Patients developing endophthalmitis after receiving an intravitreal anti-VEGF injection from the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® (Intelligent Research in Sight) Registry between 2016 and 2020.
Purpose: To examine the incidence and initial presentation of sports-related ocular injury in youth.

Objective: To determine the most commonly used and highest-rated mobile applications (apps) for low-vision aids.
