The incidences of infectious and noninfectious endophthalmitis after IVT were low, and the risk did not increase with each successive injection. We found higher rates of noninfectious endophthalmitis with bevacizumab compared with ranibizumab or aflibercept. Three quarters of cases with infectious and two thirds of cases with noninfectious endophthalmitis retained vision within 10 letters of the pre-endophthalmitis level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
