Concretions in eye

A simple lid eversion revealed why this patient had foreign body sensation for so long

Upper lid everted to show multiple large concretions

Patient had foreign body sensation for a long time. He was being treated with lubricants elsewhere but was not satisfied. When he came to us a simple lid eversion revealed what had been troubling him for so long- multiple large concretions.

We anaesthetised his eye and removed all the concretions and give him antibiotics and lubricants. His symptoms disappeared like magic and he was fully satisfied.

A thorough clinical examination is a must in every patient.
