Corneal bee sting injury: a clinical conundrum

This study outlines the clinical features and comprehensive management of three cases of corneal injury by a bee sting. The stinger removal was attempted, and in two cases, the stinger was successfully removed. In one case, a portion of the stinger broke and was left in situ without inciting any further inflammation. In all the cases, the surrounding infiltrate was scraped, and after microbiological evaluation was found to be negative, topical corticosteroids were started. The management of corneal bee sting injuries should include appropriate surgical intervention along with the judicious use of corticosteroids after infective pathology has been excluded.
