persisted. Ophthalmic examination from distance
showed mild conjunctival hyperemia. Excessive tear
was observed around the eyeball. Close ophthalmic
examinations revealed prominent conjunctival blood
vessels at the outer portion of the nictitating
membrane. Clump of abnormal hairs were identified at
the ventro-nasal region of the palpebral conjunctiva,
next to eyelid margin. Schirmer tear test 1 level of the
left eye was 25 mm wetness, while it was 16 on the
right.
