Eye
burn (Corneal burn) caused by contact with a curling iron:
A 36-year-old female presented with severe left eye pain after
having been struck with a hot curling iron while fixing her hair.
Her vision was decreased in the injured eye. There was evidence
of a large area of fluorescein (a dye that is taken up in injured
areas of the eye) uptake on staining. The picture shows a corneal
abrasion. The cornea is the protective hard surface over the center
portion of the eye. (L.S.)
