Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (Photo)

Last updated September 1, 2007

This photograph of the cornea shows the classic subepithelial infiltrates of EKC. The best way to see these subtle spots is to widen your slitbeam and view the cornea from an extream angle.

You can get a better idea what this looks like by viewing our EKC video (from which this snapshot was taken).
