Medical history included corneal haze, subepithelial corneal opacity, rose bengal and fluorescein positive, subtle anterior cortical lens opacity, normal vitreous and retina, and no fungal hyphae detected. The eye had been treated for over two years with medications including ¼ cc of triple antibiotic ointment twice daily, ¼ cc of plasma 2-3 times daily, ¼ cc of Cyclosporine 1% ointment twice daily, and several drops of AN-HyPro gel daily with minimal improvement.
