Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
This photo shows the chronic conjunctivitis of ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid. Chronic conjunctivitis leads to conjunctival scarring, including symblephara (adhesions of some palpebral conjunctiva to the bulbar conjunctiva; blue arrows), and to shrinkage (loss of depth of the fornix also known as blunting; black arrow) with corneal keratinization and opacification.
