Although soft contact lenses protect the ocular media from all sources of UV radiation, it is important for patients to understand that on their own they do not provide sufficient ocular protection since they only inhibit UV reaching the cornea and limbus, leaving other ocular structures like most of the
bulbar conjunctiva and adnexa exposed.
In 50% of animals tested (3/6), we observed viral antigen and PE CAM co-staining within vessels in the
bulbar conjunctiva and in the newly formed vessels in the peripheral cornea (Figure 4).
CM usually develops within the
bulbar conjunctiva, rather than the forniceal or palpebral conjunctiva, and can arise in areas of primary acquired melanosis, from a preexisting nevus or de novo [2].
His chief complaint was a blurred vision for 7 months, combined with intermittent
bulbar conjunctiva hyperemia that would spontaneously heal.
Mitomycin C was applied to bare sclera in group A and Conjunctival autograft taken from superior
bulbar conjunctiva of same eye was sutured to the bare sclera in group B.
Physical examination demonstrated 3 dead wasps of the order Hymenoptera and numerous stingers in the integument of the forehead, nape, cranial cervical integument, chin, cheek, intermandibular integument,
bulbar conjunctiva, palpebra, rhamphotheca, and cere.
The corneoconjunctival dermoid extended beyond the inferomedial limbus and then merged with the hairless tissue within the inferomedial
bulbar conjunctiva of the left eye (Fig.
His vision was 20/20 in each eye, and a complete ocular examination revealed normal findings, except for a mass lesion involving the superior
bulbar conjunctiva of the right eye and significantly displacing the globe inferiorly (Figure 1(a)).

bulbar conjunctiva obtained by impression cytology," Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, vol.
All patients were conducted the history taking, common ophthalmological examination (visual acuity test, biomicroscopy, direct ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, perimetry), objective examination (decrease or absence of the tear meniscus at the eyelid margins, presence of conjunctival mucous secretions in the form of threads, local swelling of
bulbar conjunctiva with superimposing on the free edge of the eyelid, flaccid conjunctival hyperemia, inclusions polluting the tear film).
Examination of her right eye revealed a reddish, non-ulcerated, firm to hard mass, fixed to the underlying structures, arising from the medial aspect of
bulbar conjunctiva measuring five centimeters (Figure 1) in diameter.
