This patient right cornea
was cut by glass fragments from the car windscreen two years ago. After a
long period of absence she returned with foreign body sensation, examination
revealed loose stitches and leucoma with new vessels. The leucoma was the
result of scarring and lipid from the new vessels. The loose stitches were
removed and the patient started on topical antibiotic and steroid.
