An observational study in Endophthalmitis, Cataract and Vitreous Detachment, sponsored by Benha University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-02-21.

Post-operative infectious endophthalmitis is devastating condition that causes a diffuse intraocular inflammation and may lead to blindness. Acute post-operative endophthalmitis usually presented within 6 weeks of intraocular procedure and diagnosis is confirmed by clinical examination and by the aid of B-scan ultrasonography.
There is no consensus regarding the timing of vitrectomy in cases with endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study concluded that vitrectomy should be preserved for cases with only light perception. The advances in posterior segment machines and small gauge cannulas decrease the incidence of intra-operative complications and encourage for early intervention in cases with endophthalmitis after primary cataract surgery.
65 studies on the registry are indexed under Endophthalmitis; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 11 is below the median of 100 across 20 observational studies indexed under Endophthalmitis.
