Summary

This study is testing advanced lab techniques, like genetic sequencing and multiplex PCR, to improve how doctors diagnose complex eye infections such as endophthalmitis and severe corneal abscesses. Researchers will compare the new methods to standard cultures to see if they find infections more often and faster. About 153 adults with suspected eye infections will take part.
