Abstract Purpose: To report a case who had received scleral buckling for retinal detachment and who developed peripheral corneal infiltration 19 years later.

Case: A 75-year-old female presented with blurring, hyperemia and pain in the left eye. The left eye had developed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 19 years before that healed after implantation of silicone sponge and buckling. The silicone sponge protruded through the conjunctiva and was removed 18 months before. The silicone band was removed at another session due to signs of infection.

Findings and Clinical Course: Corrected visual acuity was 0.6 right and 0.2 left. The left eye showed peripheral corneal infiltration involving the inferior 240 degrees. Gonioscopy showed hypopyon. Treatment with topical and systemic antibiotics was followed by cure 8 days later with visual acuity of 0.6.

Conclusion: Intraocular infection with corneal infiltration appears to have been due to infectious focus at the site of previous scleral buckle, rather than as allergic reaction to staphylococcal microorganisms or as manifestation of autoimmunity to collagen disease.
