A healthy 20-year-old woman with myopia had uneventful bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis after which the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Fifteen days later, a stromal paraxial lesion was found in the right eye with a corresponding loss of visual acuity, pain, and photophobia. The flap was lifted and the infiltrate scraped for smears. Cultures showed that Rhodococcus globerulus was the infectious agent. Intensive topical antibiotic treatment was applied with good visual results.
