An unusual case of endogenous aspergillus endophthalmitis.
Endogenous aspergillus endophthalmitis is not a common entity. So far, about 25 cases have been reported in the world literature, and to the best of our-knowledge, the crystalline lens was invaded by the fungus in none of the cases, as seen in the present case. This unusual feature, coupled with the rarity of the condition in general, made it worth reporting.
