PURPOSE: To describe a case of microsporidia corneal infection in a HIV-negative patient who did not wear contact lenses. METHOD: Case report and review of literature. RESULTS: This is the first case report of a human immunodeficiency virus-negative individual, a non-contact lens wearer, with microsporidia infection. CONCLUSION: Microsporidia keratoconjunctivitis may occur in healthy subjects with no antecedent contact lens wear.
