Endophthalmitis

Endophthalmitis is a serious eye condition characterized by inflammation inside the eye, often caused by an infection. It can occur after eye surgery, an eye injury, or as a complication of another illness. Symptoms may include severe pain, redness, blurred vision, and swelling. If left untreated, endophthalmitis can lead to vision loss. Prompt medical attention is crucial, and treatment typically involves antibiotics or antifungal medications, sometimes delivered through injections or surgery to cleanse the eye. Early intervention significantly improves the chances of preserving vision.
