This photograph shows an eye suffering from hurricane keratophathy. This occurs as a result of several medications (such as amiodarone) that deposit in the corneal surface. Other names for this finding are verticillata or whorl keratophathy because of the distinctive pattern of deposition.

These deposits are microscopic, and are usually only seen under the microscope as in this photograph. To gain a greater feel how this actually looks, you may want to watch our hurricane keratopathy video.
