Abstract
Terrien's marginal degeneration is a rare bilateral condition. Most investigators have thought that it was a degenerative origin, and emphasized the lack of significant inflammatory signs and symptoms. Several reports in Korea, except one case of perforation reported only mild conjunctival injection. But, recent reports suggested the possibility of inflammatory process and immune phenomenon. We experienced one case of Terrien's marginal degeneration accompanied with the iritis and treated with topical steroid, conjunctival flap and therapeutic contact lens.
Key Words: immune phenomenon;iritis;marginal degeneration
