Abstract:
A case report of involutional ectropion associated with exposure keratopathy - which complicated to exposure keratitis due to incorrect management is presented. Upon consulting the local pharmacy the patient was wrongly given anti-allergic eye drops. Patients with involutional ectropion have high risk of dry eye disease and may rarely be complicated with keratitis. Distinguishing between exposure keratopathy and allergic eye disease is pivotal as management differs and wrong therapy may lead to serious eye disease.
