Slit lamp examination of the right eye showed 80% peripheral corneal thinning between 3 and 7 o'clock (Fig. 1a). After another week of observation, the corneal thinning gradually improved to about 60% (Fig. 1b). However, the patient rapidly tapered oral prednisolone against medical advice and returned three months later with another episode of redness and pain in his right eye (Fig. 1c). Slit lamp examination showed a well-formed anterior chamber with glue in situ (Fig. 1d).
