| Examination | | Visual acuity was counting fingers bilaterally. The visual acuity testing in each eye individually was limited secondary to painful mucosal and epidermal involvement precluding an accurate verbal or written response to conventional testing. Pupils were equal and reactive to light, with no relative afferent pupillary defect. Extraocular motility was minimally restricted; however, there was evidence of significant bilateral symblephara (Figure 2). Anterior segment examination with a portable slit-lamp revealed a small epithelial defect on the left cornea. There was significant conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis without conjunctival ulcerations. Intraocular pressure and fundus examination were within normal limits in each eye. | |
