Guttate endothelial changes with anterior eye inflammation.

S G Zantos, B A Holden
PMCID: PMC1039435  PMID: 7459309

Abstract

This report details the rapid appearance and gradual disappearance of guttate endothelial changes in a patient who experienced an acute 'red eye' associated with the continuous wear of contact lenses. This episode of acute inflammation was accompanied by a diffuse corneal infiltrate, endothelial bedewing, and the guttage changes.
