| Abstract | We examined two patients who received contaminated corneas from the same organ donor during penetrating keratoplasty. Both developed Candida albicans endophthalmitis, which responded to surgical and antifungal therapy. On follow-up examination one patient had a visual acuity of hand motions, a pupillary membrane, and a macular scar. The other had a visual acuity of 20/100 and a clear graft. |
