Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of infection-related deaths in adults worldwide. The ocular involvement in TB is extremely rare. The incidence of ocular TB is reported to be 1%–2% of ocular diseases. We report an interesting case of mycobacterial panophthalmitis in an adult male who presented with painful red eye with loss of vision.
