title: Update on treatment strategies for bleb-associated endophthalmitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Visual preservation in the setting of bleb-associated endophthalmitis has been difficult with existing management strategies. In this article, established findings are compared and potential new treatments that may improve visual outcomes in bleb-associated endophthalmitis are evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Recent reports have contributed to the existing database of results from bleb-associated endophthalmitis. New systemic antibiotics and novel surgical techniques are also described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  More options are now available to treat bleb-associated endophthalmitis. No one treatment paradigm is definitively superior in producing desired visual outcomes.
