A case report from (b)(6) journal of ophthalmology was received in regard to "chronic postoperative cutibacterium acnes endophthalmitis with implantable collamer lens".The case report was about a (b)(6)-year-old male who presented 3 months after icl implantation of the right eye (od) with blurry vision, redness and ocular pain in the setting of prolonged post-operative anterior chamber (ac) cell.Reduced visual acuity (va) at 20/30-1, keratic precipitates, 1+ ac cell, and white icl precipitates were concerning for chronic post-operative endophthalmitis.Anaerobic cultures from a vitreous tap grew c.Acnes.Multiple intra-vitreal and intracameral injections with topical steroids were required to maintain a stable va at 20/30; however, inflammation persisted and removal of the icl and his native lens was ultimately required.After several months, without recurrence of inflammation, a secondary sulcus iol was placed with resulting uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20.Additional information has been requested but none has been forthcoming.
