Diagnosis: keratitis: sclerosing keratis - a further discussion

Image Comments:

As the keratis area takes on a whiter appearance, the area of corneal involvement resembles the sclera more closely. The residual of the triggering scleritis can be seen in the photo as the slightly bluish spot involving the sclera not far from the involved cornea.
