A 39-year-old female was referred for punctal plug insertion for dry eye complaints and a nonhealing conjunctival defect in both eyes. She had a history of right eye pterygium and left eye pingecula removal with the I-BRITE (Boxer Wachler Vision Institute, Beverly Hills, Calif.) procedure 2 years previously. The I-BRITE procedure is advertized for the treatment of conjunctiva hyperemia, pterygium, and pinguecula.1 Postoperatively, she recounted using, in both eyes, topical antibiotics 4 times daily, preservative-free artificial tears, testosterone 10% ointment to the eyelids, mitomycin C (MMC) drops of unknown concentration 4 times daily, and a tapering course of topical steroids.
