Endophthalmitis is an uncommon complication of glaucoma drainage device surgery.1 Most cases are secondary to Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Haemophilis.2 Cases caused by fungal pathogens are very rare. Rhodotorula is a common environmental yeast that has recently been recognized as a human pathogen. Infections are most commonly linked to frequent intensive care unit procedures such as central venous catheters.3 There is a paucity of literature describing Rhodotorula infections of the eye.
