SCLEROSING BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

This older gentleman has irritation in the left eye from lashes poking in his eyes. Why are they poking. You can see the irregularity in the lower lid. This can be caused by a deep basal cell carcinoma. If it grows, it will need to be excised and the lower lid would have to be reconstructed.

CONTACT LENS OVERWEAR

This patient overwears their contact lenses and you can see blood vessels growing into the cornea. This is a common problem and people are surprised to see that contact lenses are causing this kind of damage to their eyes.

NUCLEAR CATARACT

The right lens shows barely any cataract at all.

The left lens shows a clouding which changed the patient's eyeglass prescription rapidly and will eventually cloud the vision to the point where he needs cataract surgery.
