Medical records were reviewed from 1/2/23-1/2/24. Treatment given was either intravitreal antibiotics, pars plana vitrectomy or both. Results: Total patients 41. Postoperative endophthalmitis: 72.5% vs endogenous endophthalmitis: 27.5%. Acute cases were 67.5%. The mean BCVA in endogenous endophthalmitis was 1.94 logmar and post treatment the mean BCVA was 0.78 logmar. The mean BCVA in acute postoperative endophthalmitis was 2.34 logmar and post treatment the mean BCVA was 0.98 logmar. The mean BCVA in chronic postoperative endophthalmitis was 2.32 logmar and post treatment the mean BCVA was 0.78 logmar. 37.5% patients were treated with only intravitreal antibiotics (Vancomycin, Ceftazidime and Voriconazole),47.5% were treated with intravitreal antibiotics with PPV and 15% were primarily treated with PPV.
