Ocular surface drug toxicity due to the long-term use of topical medication is a commonly overlooked cause of chronic conjunctival inflammation. A variety of eye drops, including but not limited to anti-glaucoma medications can cause drug-induced cicatrizing conjunctivitis. The classical descriptions of this condition include inflammation and scarring involving the eyelids, puncta, and conjunctiva. Herein, we present a case with bilateral peripheral ulcerative keratitis as a manifestation of drug-induced cicatrizing conjunctivitis.
