description A 42-year-old male post-renal transplantation presented with sudden diminution of vision in the left eye. The right eye was lost following a failed vitreoretinal surgery 5 years ago. The patient had been hospitalized 4 months prior for coronavirus disease 2019 infection with a good recovery. The presenting visual acuity was 20/600 in the right eye and 20/250 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed a sub-macular sub-retinal abscess in the left eye. Sub-retinal aspiration of the abscess revealed Candida albicans. The patient was managed with repeated intravitreal amphotericin B injections, following which the abscess resolved with scarring and vision improving to 20/60.
