Endophthalmitis

Endophthalmitis is a serious, potentially blinding condition, for which timely treatment can greatly impact the final outcome. Frequently, emergency or internal medicine physicians may be the first to see a patient with endophthalmitis as the patient may present with severe pain. With the increase in ophthalmic procedures both in the clinic as well as the operating room, it is imperative for all medical practitioners to become familiar with the presentation of this potentially devastating complication.
