A 52-year-old female landscaper presented to the doctor concerned after noticing a fleshy growth that had appeared on her eyes within the last week. The ocular growth was larger and more pronounced on her right eye than her left. The patient reported that she had experienced blurry vision, eye irritation, and a feeling of a foreign body in her eye for several weeks. She recounted that she had been struggling daily to put in her contact lenses. She reported no recent trauma or chemical exposures and had no history of ophthalmologic conditions. Corneal opacities and a bulbar conjunctival plaque were detected on eye exam.
Is it peripheral ulcerative keratitis, fungal corneal ulcer, ocular pterygium, or pinguecula?
