Fungal endophthalmitis following intraocular lens implantation. 1977

M A Mosier, and B Lusk, and T H Pettit, and D H Howard, and J Rhodes

Endophthalmitis developed in a 61-year-pld man after an intraocular lens implantation. A whitish opacity developed, visual acuity decreased to light perception, and we enucleated the eye. Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson, a saphrophyte that has contaminated laboratory solutions, was cultured.

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
