(Case 2) Slit-lamp examination. (a) Hypopyon and corneal oedema is observed. (b) Appearance following radical surgery with extraction of IOL and PPV with no inflammatory signs. SEM analysis of IOL surface. (c) Disperse, irregular, heterogeneous bacterial biofilm on the surface of the IOL, with apparently low stickiness. (d) Abundant clusters of isolated bacteria with sphere-shaped morphology suggestive of cocci spp were observed associated with cellular remains (c) and deposits of hexapolyssacharide bacterial capsular material (asterisk). Diplococci division presenting a divisional plate (circle) was found in different stages of growth. Bar for (c) 20 μm and (d) 5 μm.
