Figures & data
FIGURE 1. (a) Photograph of the affected eye shows an area of chronic inflammation with a high ratio of epithelial cell depletion. Corneal involvement is also shown as stromal infiltration (rose bengal staining-dotted ellipsoid). (b) The same eye photographed while patient was on topical steroids. A significant improvement of conjunctival injection is noted. However, a “cheesy” material overlying the erosive lesion as well as the corneal infiltration is still apparent. (c) Histologic examination of the lid biopsy shows chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Foreign body-type granulomas are also present (arrows) (×200 hematoxylin–eosin).
