Abstract

Mucus fishing syndrome
is a rare condition that is characterized by increased mucus secretion and
mechanical removal of mucus leading to a continuous mechanical trauma to the
ocular surface. The mechanical removal of mucus results in ocular surface
damage which leads to further increase of mucus production. Usually condition
is characterized by conjunctival inflammation. Unlike the typical clinical
presentation; we present a case with corneal ulcer and substance abuse with
current diagnostic and treatment approaches.
