Abstract:
Bee stings of the cornea are rarely reported, but have the potential for causing serious ophthalmologic injuries. We present a case of corneal bee sting with retained stinger apparatus and associated iritis and discuss the pathologic mechanisms of injury, evaluation, and treatment of these uncommon presentations.
