Abstract
Ocular infections affecting the posterior segment of the eye can lead to
severe visual disability. The infections can range from bacterial/fungal endophthalmitis
to various types of viral retinitis to toxoplasma retinitis. In recent years there have been
significant advances in the use of chemotherapeutic agents for managing these
infections. In this review we discuss their management with anti-infective agents. The
choice of drugs, alternatives, mode of delivery and duration of therapy are discussed.
