Abstract
A case of infectious crystalline keratopathy with secondary endophthalmitis, caused by a slime producing Staphylococcus epidermidis in a patient with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. Histopathology of the corneal button, after penetrating keratoplasty failed to exhibit cells of the causative organism. S. epidermidis, though generally of low pathogenicity, may become an important pathogen affecting the intraocular tissues in compromised corneas.
