C) Patient 3 (right eye): PED with a focal plaque at base of the defect and only minimal corneal thinning. There is chronic peripheral corneal conjunctivalization. Patient is wearing a PROSE device. D) Patient 3 (left eye): PED and hypopyon, with peripheral corneal conjunctivalization and keratinization.
