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.
