Corneal perforation associated with isolated ocular lichen planus: a case report.

CONCLUSION: Isolated ocular lichen planus is an extremely infrequent presentation of lichen planus often indistinguishable from other cicatricial conjunctivitis. Corneal perforation is a severe complication associated with severe dry eye, not previously reported with ocular lichen planus. An adequate clinical assessment and histopathologic diagnosis are crucial to lead prompt treatment and prevent sight-threatening complications. PMID: 32493062 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
