Candida endophthalmitis is associated with a high rate of visual loss, particularly in patients with poor presenting visual acuity or centrally located lesions. Early vitrectomy reduces the risk of retinal detachment.

The use of a myocutaneous flap from the upper eyelid combined with a canthopexy suspension suture for repair of cicatricial ectropion may offer good eyelid position and function. This technique has the advantage of avoiding full thickness blepharotomy and was associated with a low incidence of early recurrence.

This study found no statistically significant association between lesion composition defined on fluorescein angiography and loss of visual acuity compared with previous studies. Factors associated with an increased rate of loss of 15 letters were increasing age of the patient, increasing lesion size and better baseline logMAR vision.
