Endophthalmitis

In this pilot study, the feasibility of the Oxford Nanopore MinION to identify pathogens from vitrectomy samples in eyes with endophthalmitis shall be assessed. The MinION is a low cost commercially available device for DNA/ RNA analysis that, in studies, has been used for pathogen determination in various infectious diseases as well as for the genetic characterization of hematologic tumors.

Intracameral injection of 0.1% moxifloxacin solution after cataract surgery to prevent endophthalmitis

This study aims to describe and investigate vascular changes associated with exogenous endophthalmitis, as well as to create a photo library where they are evidenced

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of different technique to optimize the microbiological diagnosis of the COI. * Metagenomic for the endophtalmitis * Multiplex polymerase chain reaction for corneal abscesses

1. identify the incidence of post-traumatic endophthalmitis and the related risk factors influencing its development. 2. study the clinical- microbiological profile and evaluate the functional and anatomical outcomes of post-traumatic endophthalmitis (PPTE).
