Anterior segment findings at initial examination imaged using a smartphone. a Right eye. b Left eye. Both ocular conjunctivae were hyperemic and had folds associated with xerophthalmia. Cornea showed extensive epithelial defects and edematous opacity with hypopyon. The patient had been in the lateral position until just before examination; the abscess was seen on the left side of the eye.

The cornea showed extensive epithelial defects measuring 9 x 7 mm in the right eye and 7 x 5 mm in the left eye, and edematous opacity with hypopyon (Fig. 1).
Anterior segment findings 3 months after initial examination imaged using a smartphone. a Right eye. b Left eye. Both eyes had slightly hyperemic conjunctiva but were well moistened. Transparency of the corneal parenchyma in the left eye was achieved, but the area of melting in the right eye remained as a cicatricial corneal opacity with epithelialization.
