영문 초록

Purpose: Corneal bee sting is a relatively rare injury. The authors report the significant endothelial changes despite complete resolution of corneal injury after a corneal bee sting. Case summary: Two males, ages 55 and 30, presented to our clinic for unilateral decreased visual acuity and eyeball pain after bee sting injuries. At the first visit, localized corneal stromal edema and epithelial defect were detected. One week after medical treatments, both patients achieved restoration of vision and resolution of corneal injury. In one patient, specular microscopy of the traumatized eye at one and five months showed a significant decrease in endothelial densities as compared with the contralateral eye. Conclusions: Corneal bee sting may cause significant endothelial changes despite complete resolution of clinical symptoms and injury. Specular microscopy should be considered in future intraocular surgeries. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 2010;51(3):435-439
