Infection
of the eye from a Corneal ulcer: A 23-year- old man presented
with a 2-day history of right eye pain, decreased vision, photophobia
(fear of light), and redness. The patient wore extended-wear contact
lenses. A 2-mm, round, poorly bordered, white infiltrate is seen
at the 12-o'clock position just above the visual axis. This area
demonstrated uptake with fluorescein staining that was consistent
with an injury and infection of the surface cells of the cornea
(protective covering over the center portion of the eye). (L.S.)
