Abstract:
We present a case of a 53-year-old female patient with chronic blepharitis and conjunctival overgrowth of the cornea. Histologically the conjunctival overgrowth contained foreign body granulomas around calcification focuses. This could have been promoted by the application of phosphate-containing eye drops and the presence of chemokines like TNF-alpha, which occur in chronic blepharitis. Thus, we recommend the application of phosphate-free eye drops in patients with chronic blepharitis.
