摘要：

PURPOSE: To describe a case of late postoperative endophthalmitis in a patient: who had undergone anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation 6 years previously. METHOD: Onset, course, and outcome of the patient's eye disease are presented. RESULTS: The patient was initially examined with erosion of the eyewall, extrusion of the lens haptic, and endophthalmitis. Intraocular cultures disclosed the pathogenic organism to be Haemophilus influenzae. CONCLUSION: Anterior chamber intraocular lens haptic extrusion can have grave consequences, including endophthalmitis and severe visual loss.
