Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

It is very uncertain whether combined steroid and antibiotic therapy changes complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' compared with antibiotics alone (very low certainty).

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Visual acuity · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy may leads to higher visual acuity 6/6 to 6/18 at 3 months' compared with antibiotics alone (low certainty).

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Adverse events at 3 to 12 months' · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy showed no clear difference in adverse events at 3 to 12 months' compared with antibiotics alone (low certainty).

Toric intraocular lens (IOL) vs limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs)

Postoperative residual refractive astigmatism of less than 0.50 D · people with astigmatism who are having cataract surgery (phacoemulsification)

Toric intraocular lens (IOL) probably leads to higher postoperative residual refractive astigmatism of less than 0.50 D compared with limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) (moderate certainty).

Toric intraocular lens (IOL) vs limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs)

Spectacle independence for distance as reported by the participant · people with astigmatism who are having cataract surgery (phacoemulsification)

Toric intraocular lens (IOL) may leads to higher spectacle independence for distance as reported by the participant compared with limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) (low certainty).
