Abstract
Intralenticular abscess is an uncommon complication of surgery or trauma. A case of intralenticular abscess following penetrating trauma is presented. In this case, the offending organism was identified as Propionibacterium acnes. This organism is considered to be a cause of slowly progressing endophthalmitis and has been implicated as a cause of the so-called toxic lens syndrome.Keywords
