VELEZ, Mauricio; SALAZAR, Gloria I  and  MONSALVE, Patricia. Bee sting of the cornea. Case report. Colomb. Med. [online]. 2010, vol.41, n.2, pp.176-178. ISSN 1657-9534.

Bee stings of the eye are uncommon entities and ocular reactions to the bee venom are wide, ranging from mild conjunctivitis to sudden vision loss. We present the case of a patient who suffered a bee sting of the cornea and the response to the poison components. We go through the bee venom properties, its actual treatment, and propose a new management alternative.

Keywords : Cornea; Bee venom; Triple procedure.
