N2 - Intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used for the maintenance treatment of some types of bladder cancer. Although rare, ocular complications can develop following intravesical BCG treatment.

The case highlights a rare complication of BCG installation and the need for an eye examination when patients after BCG installation develop eye symptoms.
