Image Comments:

PKC is becoming rare as public health problems are ameliorated. In 1968 when this photo was taken by Dr. Caccamise in his eye clinic in India, PKC was generally attributed to tbc - thus, the synonym conjunctivitis srofulosa.Refer to Duane/Fuchs: Textbook of Ophthalmology, p. 192, 6th edition, 1919.
