Moraxella Lacunata Endophthalmitis after Intraocular Lens Implantation

Abstract We report a case of chronic, indolent intraocular inflammation that occurred after extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Cultures of intraocular specimens revealed the presence of Moraxella lacunata colonies. Our report emphasizes the need for preoperative attention to potential sources of infection (eyelids, lacrymal system, etc.) and the importance of strict aseptic techniques in the operating room.
