In Vivo Confocal Microscopy and Anterior Segment Optic Coherence Tomography Findings in Ocular Ochronosis

Figure 1

Anterior segment photos and in vivo confocal microscopy images of Case 1. (a) Right eye temporal conjunctiva. (b) Hyperreflective inflammatory cells beneath conjunctiva epithelium (arrow). (c) Hyperreflective deposits in the deep conjunctiva with adjacent curled collagen fibers (arrow). A normal lymphatic vessel is seen adjacent to curled collagen fibers. (d) Degenerative changes in the collagen. (e) Fragmentation of the collagen fibers and empty spaces between them. (f) Prominent curled subepithelial fibers in the deep conjunctiva. A normal lymphatic vessel is seen in the upper part of the scan.
