Abstract
Especially surgery-related infections such as endophthalmitis are a major problem in ophthalmology clinics. Acute or chronic postoperative endophthalmitis may occur due to many factors that may be related to the conditions of the operating room environment, the surgical crew, the devices, the patient and the postoperative care. Although advances in surgical techniques provide great convenience to ophthalmologists, all intraocular surgeries carry a greater or lesser risk of infection. In addition, in recent years, intravitreal drug applications in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and age-related macular degeneration have increased considerably, increasing the possibility of postoperative infections.

Abstract
Özellikle endoftalmi gibi cerrahi ile ilişkili enfeksiyonlar, oftalmoloji kliniklerinde büyük bir problem teşkil etmektedir. Ameliyathane ortamının koşullarına, cerrahi ekibe, kullanılan cihazlara, hastaya ve cerrahi sonrası bakıma ait olabilecek pek çok faktör nedeniyle akut veya kronik postoperatif endoftalmiler görülmektedir. Cerrahi tekniklerdeki gelişmeler göz hekimlerine büyük kolaylıklar sağlamakla beraber tüm intraoküler cerrahiler az ya da çok enfeksiyon riski taşımaktadır. Ayrıca son yıllarda diyabetes mellitus ve yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonu tedavisinde intravitreal ilaç uygulamalarının bir hayli artmış olması, cerrahi sonrası enfeksiyonlar ile karşılaşma ihtimalini artırmaktadır.
