Very Unhappy Eye…

This is injury caused from over wear of rigid contact lenses. If you look carefully you can see the indentation where the lens was stuck to and slightly embedded in the surface of the cornea. The bright white spot at 3 o’clock is broken-down epithelium, also known as a corneal ulcer. This can cause permanent vision impairment by scarring. All the glowing yellow dye is sodium fluorescein, a salt that is absorbed by broken down tissues and dead skin cells and glows under cobalt blue light. This is generally a painful condition and can prevent the patient from ever successfully wearing contact lenses again.
