Perforated Corneal Ulcer (Photo)

Perforated Cornea
This photograph shows a central corneal ulcer that has perforated. The iris is plastered against the back surface of the cornea. You can appreciate this chamber shallowing by looking at the slit-lamp beam as it passes through the cornea and hits the iris … the two light arcs are touching.
This perforation occurred secondary to a neurotropic ulcer.
