Endophthalmitis in Advanced Microbial Keratitis: Risk Factors and Examination Findings

Conclusions: Diagnosing endophthalmitis can be difficult in eyes with advanced microbial keratitis, and the visual outcomes are often extremely poor. Clinicians should have a particularly high index of suspicion in eyes presenting with light perception or no light perception vision, history of cataract extraction, full thickness ulcer or perforation, or choroidal thickening or retinal detachment on ultrasound.
