: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare incidence and outcomes of management of acute endophthalmitis after microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) and intravitreal injections (IVIs).: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed from January 2012 to December 2017, and the incidence, clinical and microbiological profiles of acute endophthalmitis were documented.: Of 26,332 MIVS and 24,143 IVI performed, incidence of acute endophthalmitis in MIVS group was 0.027% (1 in 3761 cases) against 0.054% (1 in 1857 cases) in IVI. Gram-positive organisms were causative in post IVI group as against gram-negative organisms in MIVS group.: Incidence of endophthalmitis after IVI is almost twice that after MIVS. A trend toward poorer outcomes in MIVS eyes was observed. Both MIVS and IVI being pars plana procedures warrant similar kind of aseptic precautions.

Purpose: Acute postoperative endophthalmitis (APE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. During the most recent decades, the use of povidone-iodine (PVI) before surgery combined with intracameral cefuroxime has drastically reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis. The goal of this study is to describe the changes in endophthalmitis rates after cataract surgery over the past two decades in a large tertiary ophthalmology center.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence, causes, risk factors and treatment of acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after phacoemulsification in a private ophthalmological group.
Design: Uncontrolled retrospective observational study of all cases of POE over 22 years.
Material And Methods: 369,476 eyes were included after phacoemulsification in 41 surgical centers of the Clínica Baviera-AIER EYE Group from 2002 to 2023.

Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is caused by a breach of the blood-ocular barrier by pathogens originating from distant sites. It is a rare cause of endophthalmitis and can lead to devastating outcomes without prompt and adequate treatment. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of type II diabetes mellitus who experienced an episode of acute myocardial infarction complicated by an acute exacerbation of chronic kidney disease, catheter-related infection, bloodstream infection, bacterial endocarditis, and bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis confirmed by blood culture and bilateral vitreous culture showing growth of methicillin-sensitive (MSSA).

Background: Monitoring for potential inflammatory events following intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) injection is crucial with the use of new agents such as aflibercept 8 mg. Despite a safety profile comparable to aflibercept 2 mg in pivotal and phase 3 studies, reporting such cases in clinical practice helps evaluate potential risk of these agents.
Case Presentation: In this case series, a cluster of 8 patients manifesting acute intraocular inflammation (IOI) after intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg injection at three different centers are described.

Background: Endophthalmitis is an acute infection of anterior and posterior segment of the eye involving aqueous humour and vitreous cavity along with the other structures. It is classified into many types including bacterial, Fungal, protozoal, viral and atypical forms. Most common route of infection is exogenous either after the surgery or traumatic perforation Objectives were of evaluate the efficacy of intracameral moxifloxacin versus topical moxifloxacin in preventing postoperative acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery by phacoemulsification.
