A 77-year-old female. Slit lamp microscopy with fluorescein staining showed diffuse corneal erosion in the superior cornea (upper left) and lid wiper staining (upper right, white arrows) with hyperemia of palpebral conjunctiva in the right eye (upper middle). Fluorescein staining of the cornea and lid margin was improved in 2 weeks after administration of topical rebamipide eye drops (lower images).

Slit-lamp microscopy with fluorescein staining showed diffuse corneal erosion in the superior cornea and lid wiper staining with hyperemia of the palpebral conjunctiva in the right eye (Figure 1, upper panels). Fluorescein staining of the cornea and lid margin was remarkably improved (Figure 1, lower panels) and subjective symptoms were reduced in 2 weeks from the start of rebamipide eye drops.

A 71-year-old female. Slit lamp microscopy with fluorescein staining showed band-shaped corneal erosion in the central cornea (upper left)and lid wiper staining (upper right, white arrows) with hyperemia of palpebral conjunctiva in the left eye (upper middle). Fluorescein staining of the cornea and lid margin was improved in 3 weeks after administration of topical rebamipide eye drops (lower images).
