This photo shows a small hypopyon (layer of pus) in the anterior chamber of an eye that has undergone a glaucoma tube-shunt surgery. This hypopion was caused by an infection that tracked into the eye from an exposed tube. The resulting endophthalmitis is serious, difficult to treat, and the end vision for this eye was not good.
Some spell this as “hypopion.”
To get a better idea of how this hypopion looks in real life, and get a closeup view of the silicone tube as it enters the eye, please watch our hypopyon video. This snapshot was taken from that videoclip.
