**14. Limitations of EVS**

The EVS study recommendations do not apply to late-onset post-operative endophthalmitis, bleb-related endophthalmitis, post-traumatic endophthalmitis and endogenous endophthal‐ mitis. [7, 52] In these circumstances and in the absence of any prospective studies, careful evaluation of each case may be recommended by the treating ophthalmologist. Generally, endophthalmitis in these cases may have more aggressive set of bacterial pathogens and therefore require vitrectomy along with intra-vitreal as well as systemic antibiotics. Al‐ though, the principles of management in cases of post-traumatic and endogenous endoph‐ thalmitis may be the same as for acute post-operative endophthalmitis, the visual outcome is usually dismal.
