Evidence for and Against Intravitreous Corticosteroids in Addition to Intravitreous Antibiotics for Acute Endophthalmitis [PDF]
The use of adjunctive intravitreous corticosteroids in endophthalmitis is controversial. Preclinical models showed that early administration of corticosteroids may be important although they reported mixed results in terms of their effects on antibiotic pharmacokinetics, control of infection and prevention of retinal damage.
