Unilateral whorl-like corneal epitheliopathy

A 45-year-old South Asian woman presented with a 2-month history of acute onset of unilateral dry-eye symptoms with significant irritation and blurry vision in the left eye. She reported increasing difficulty using the computer, itching, and eye pain after work in both eyes but significantly more pronounced in the left eye. Artificial tears provided no relief of symptoms in the left eye. Initially, an optometric physician, who diagnosed her with acute corneal abrasion in the left eye, treated her with lubricating drops and ointments.
