ABSTRACT
Traumatic infectious endophthalmitis refers to the inflammation of one or multiple layers of the eyeball wall and intraocular contents caused by pathogen invasion after open globe injury. Its incidence rate is about 4% to 16%. There are various factors related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of traumatic infectious endophthalmitis, including the types of ocular trauma, the properties of pathogens, the presence of intraocular foreign body and the treatment timing. Reasonable preventive measures, accurate diagnosis and timely and effective treatment are critical for the recovery of visual function and even the preservation of the eyeball in high-risk patients. In order to further clarify and standardize the prophylaxis and management of traumatic infectious endophthalmitis, the experts of the China Ocular Trauma Society have reached consensus opinions after discussions, thus providing reference for ophthalmologists in clinical practice.
