Purpose Of The Review: In recent years, Berger's space (BS), the potential space between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid membrane, has received little attention from the ophthalmic clinical community. This is primarily due to the limited documentation, with only a few isolated case reports detailing foreign bodies in this area.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in medical imaging technology have enabled the visualization of the BS under various circumstances.

Objective: To evaluate systemic inflammatory markers in cases of exogenous endophthalmitis caused by metal foreign bodies after penetrating eye injury and identify risk factors for poor control post-initial emergency surgery.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with exogenous endophthalmitis underwent emergency surgery with vitrectomy at Xiamen Eye Center (2016-2024). Evaluations included systemic inflammatory markers, microbiology, clinical presentation, treatment strategies, complications, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes.
