Abstract:
We report a case of delayed external ocular Nocardia asteroides infection following scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous detachment. Surgical removal of the exoplant material allowed isolation and identification of the organism. Topical and systemic antibiotic therapy following exoplant removal yielded a favorable result.
