A 51-year-old, non-diabetic male with a history of trauma to his right eye with a coconut leaf 10 days ago presented with pain, watering, redness, and intolerance to light for the past 5 days. Examination Findings: Visual acuity, hand movements (HM+) in the right eye. Corneal infiltrate of size 4x4 mm observed in the inferotemporal quadrant. Pigmentation was noted at the site of the infiltrate; the surrounding cornea demonstrated edema. The anterior chamber showed 2+ flare and 2+ cells. No hypopyon.

Abstract

A 51-year-old, non-diabetic male with a history of trauma to his right eye with a coconut leaf 10 days ago presented with pain, watering, redness, and intolerance to light for the past 5 days. Examination Findings: Visual acuity, hand movements (HM+) in the right eye. Corneal infiltrate of size 4x4 mm observed in the inferotemporal quadrant. Pigmentation was noted at the site of the infiltrate; the surrounding cornea demonstrated edema. The anterior chamber showed 2+ flare and 2+ cells. No hypopyon. The pupil was sluggishly reacting to light. The patient was using Moxifloxacin eye drops 6 times, prescribed from the peripheral center.
