摘要：

A 45-year-old man developed endophthalmitis after a radial keratotomy (RK) enhancement. He developed severe intraocular inflammation, hypopyon, and dense vitreous membranes 4 days after the enhancement surgery. Cultures of the corneal wound yielded a heavy growth of Streptococcus viridans. The inflammation subsided after treatment with intraocular, intravenous, and topical antibiotics. The patient subsequently developed a cataract and retinal detachment. This case demonstrates the risk of endophthalmitis after RK enhancement.
