The implementation of multimodal imaging studies during the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with endophthalmitis may help identify, characterize, and differentiate between changes associated with host immune response, drug toxicity, or ischemia, thereby opening the possibility of implementing early treatments that lead to a better final prognosis. It is designed as a Prospective, Longitudinal, Observational, and Descriptive study. The population will be patients of the retina and vitreous service of Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México, who have a complete clinical record (age, sex, pathological personal history, non-pathological personal history, heredofamilial history, ophthalmologic history, allergies, medications, ophthalmologic examination with visual acuity, intraocular pressure at each visit), signed informed consent and with a history of exogenous or endogenous endophthalmitis with clear resolution criteria and clear means one week and one month after meeting the resolution criteria to be able to perform fluorescein angiography at both visits.
Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Fundus photography, Optical Coherence Tomography, and Fluorescein Angiography will be performed 7 days after meeting the criteria for inactivation of endophthalmitis, as outlined in the MEX-ESG guidelines. These imaging tests will be repeated one month after meeting the inactivation criteria.
Time frame: The assessment will be performed at each visit (7 days and 1 month after meeting the inactivation criteria for endophthalmitis).
Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) will be assessed according to the ETDRS guidelines. The test must be performed with the patient positioned 4 meters from the backlit panel, which must be calibrated to emit 85 cd/m². This procedure will be carried out by the retina fellow assigned to the case.
Time frame: The procedure may be performed at all study visits (7 days and 1 month after meeting the inactivation criteria for endophthalmitis).
Fluorescein angiography will be performed subsequently to evaluate associated vascular changes. The patient must undergo an 8-hour fast and have pupillary dilation with TP Ofteno® (tropicamide 5% / phenylephrine 0.8%). The procedure involves preparing the patient with aseptic technique for an intravenous injection of fluorescein dye in an upper limb, followed by imaging with a fundus camera. It is not essential to use a device of a specific brand or model, as long as a system with equivalent specifications is used consistently for the same patient throughout the study. A technician or delegated personnel may perform the procedure.
Time frame: The procedure may be performed at all study visits (7 days and 1 month after meeting the inactivation criteria for endophthalmitis).
Fundus imaging will be performed using the Clarus 700 Zeiss, Serial #CL700-73467, Software version 1.1.2.59261, Digital Camera Magnification 133°. Images of the posterior pole and retinal periphery will be captured, providing a comprehensive view of retinal integrity, the optic nerve, and its vasculature.
