Cases were classified as microbiologically-confirmed infection, presumed infection, or likely inflammatory. Demographic, clinical, microbiological, and visual outcome data were analysed. Incidence rates were calculated for post-intravitreal injection (IVI) procedures and post-phacoemulsification surgeries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 149 episodes of suspected POE occurred in 147 patients: 70 (47%) confirmed, 66 (44.3%) presumed, and 13 (8.7%) likely inflammatory. The commonest inciting procedures included IVI (n\u2009=\u200960) and phacoemulsification cataract surgery (n\u2009=\u200959). Final visual acuity (VA)\u2009\u2265\u20096\/12 was achieved in 49% of post-phacoemulsification cases and 20% of post-IVI cases. Independent predictors of poor visual outcome included confirmed infectious POE (OR 5.5, 95% CI 1.7\u201317.6) and worse presenting VA (OR 1.4 per 0.2 logMAR, 95% CI 1.1\u20131.8). The incidence of POE was 0.04% post-IVI and 0.1% post-phacoemulsification surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the largest analysis of POE in Ireland and may serve as a useful national benchmark. Despite the sustained rise in IVI use, phacoemulsification and IVIs contributed a comparable number of POE cases, with post-phacoemulsification cases achieving better visual outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
