    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) is a serious complication following intraocular surgery.
    • Despite advances, POE remains a significant cause of vision loss and blindness.
    • Outbreaks of POE continue to occur, necessitating ongoing research and vigilance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of postoperative endophthalmitis.
    • To discuss the incidence, epidemiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of bacterial and fungal POE.
    • To consolidate current knowledge and guide future strategies for combating POE.

    Main Methods:

    • This symposium synthesizes existing literature and expert consensus.
    • It addresses various aspects of POE, including its occurrence after different intraocular procedures.
    • Focus is placed on etiological agents, specifically bacteria and fungi.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of POE, while decreasing, still presents challenges.
    • Sporadic cases and outbreaks of POE continue to be reported globally.
    • Effective diagnosis, therapy, and prevention strategies are crucial for mitigating vision loss.

    Conclusions:

    • POE remains a critical concern in ophthalmology, demanding continuous attention.
    • A multidisciplinary approach is essential for the effective management and prevention of POE.
    • Further research into the epidemiology and novel therapeutic interventions for POE is warranted.
