title: Poliosis associated with treatment of fungal endophthalmitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of poliosis arising from treatment with topical medications.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 37-year-old man was treated for fungal endophthalmitis arising from Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis with penetrating keratoplasty, lensectomy and vitrectomy together with systemic and prolonged topical medications.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Recovery was complicated by retinal detachment, elevated intraocular pressure and bullous keratopathy. Unilateral poliosis developed eight months following keratoplasty and has persisted over 2(1)/(2) years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Topical medications are implicated in causing the poliosis.
