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.Entities:
