Brief summary
Comparing PPV with and without silicone oil in managing postoperative endophthalmitis
Detailed description
The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of PPV with silicone oil tamponade to PPV alone in patients with postoperative endophthalmitis by assessing visual acuity, and postoperative complications such as rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Inclusion criteria
* adult patients (≥ 18 years) presenting with clinical manifestations of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery
Exclusion criteria
* patients with concurrent ocular or systemic conditions that could potentially confound study outcomes, such as active retinal diseases unrelated to endophthalmitis * pre-existing poor visual prognosis due to conditions like advanced glaucoma or macular degeneration, or prior ocular surgery affecting the study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| visual acuity, with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) recorded using LogMAR | 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively | log-MAR value (log of the minimum angle of resolution). Normal visual acuity for most adults is approximately -0.1 on this scale, which is equivalent to 20/16 on a Snellen visual acuity chart. |
