A financial industry professional who spent almost the entire day staring at a computer screen developed dry eye syndrome. Recently, due to his busy work schedule, the patient experienced symptoms such as eye stinging, photophobia, blurred vision, and even difficulty opening his eyes.
An examination revealed multiple filamentous changes on the patient’s corneal surface, leading to a diagnosis of filamentous keratitis. If the severity of inflammation associated with dry eye syndrome were classified into four levels, he would have reached the third level, indicating a moderate-to-severe condition. After the removal of filamentous material from the cornea and treatment with amniotic contact lenses, the patient’s eye condition gradually improved.
