Scleromalacia Perforans

Anterior necrotizing scleritis without inflammation, so called scleromalacia perforans, is a rare, severe eye disorder
developing on autoimmune damage of episcleral and scleral performing vessels. The onset of the disease is insidious, progression is slow and no specific symptoms are observed until discoloration of the sclera is detected. Scleromalacia perforans is most common in women with long-term
rheumatoid arthritis, but it was also observed with other systemic diseases.

There is no specific and efficient treatment. As it develops on autoimmune abnormalities immunosuppressive therapy is proposed. To preserve globe integrity, scleral patch grafting (both tissues and synthetic materials) with subsequent immunosuppression is performed.

Re: Scleromalacia Perforans

the discoloration makes it look like they've got three separate irises. i'm having fun interpreting which one is real.
