− | Secondary uveitis and bacterial infection also occur in association with [[Encephalitozoon cuniculi – Rabbit|''Encephalitozoon cuniculi'']] infection. The protozoan is thought to enter the lens while it is developing ''in utero'' and eventually leads to capsular rupture. Release of lens material into the anterior chamber leads to a phacoclastic uveitis. | + | Secondary uveitis and bacterial infection also occur in association with [[Encephalitozoon cuniculi|''Encephalitozoon cuniculi'']] infection.
