Abstract

A 42-year-old male with no clinical relevant medical history presented with nonspecific ocular pain in the left eye over a period of 5 days. Although the visual acuity of the left eye was 20/20 (Snellen scale) without correction, the slit-lamp examination showed upper conjunctival injection, superior-sectorial stromal white cell infiltration with deep neovascularization and circumferential haziness (Figure 1). The fundoscopic examination revealed no pathological alterations.
