title: Endophthalmitis Caused by Rhizobium radiobacter After Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation to Correct Myopia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a 29-year-old man presenting with acute-onset endophthalmitis caused by Rhizobium (formerly Agrobacterium) radiobacter after uneventful implantable collamer lens implantation for myopia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated with intravitreal injections of vancomycin and ceftazidime, as well as topical and systemic antibiotics. The patient had a good response with a final visual acuity of 20/50 at the last follow-up visit 25 months postoperatively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case represents the first case report of endophthalmitis caused by Rhizobium radiobacter following implantable collamer lens implantation.
