Abstract
Purpose:
To describe a case of spontaneous subepithelial hemorrhage in a soft contact lens user.
Methods:
A 45-year-old man with irritation and decreased vision had four-quadrant pannus and corneal subepithelial hemorrhage in an annular pattern.
Results:
The subepithelial hemorrhage was drained and the feeder vessel coagulated. The hemorrhage subsequently absorbed with time.
Conclusions:
Soft contact lens users should be monitored for the development of significant neovascularization.
