Current status and research progress on the prophylaxis of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2020, Vol 35, Issue 3
Abstract
Intravitreal injections (IVI) is a common approach for delivering different drugs into the vitreous cavity to treat various retinal and choroidal diseases. Endophthalmitis (EO), as a rare and severe complication of IVI, can lead to vision loss, eyeball enucleation and other serious consequences. In the past decades, with the application of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, IVI has been more and more frequently applied in the clinical management. Thus, how to prevent the incidence of EO after IVI has captivated widespread attention from ophthalmologists.
