PURPOSE: To report a @entity1 who developed a crystalline @entity2372 after @entity5900 of the @entity267 . METHOD: Case report with histopathological correlation and literature review. RESULTS: A 61-year-old @entity1 presented to the Ophthalmology clinic after he was stung in the left eye by a bluebottle while swimming in the sea. He complained of ocular and @entity158 , @entity227 . First aid by the beach included a hot shower and methoxyflurane for the @entity158 . Crystalline deposits and @entity2543 were noted on slit-lamp examination. Topical @entity2755 was prescribed, and 2 days after the injury, the @entity267 was debrided of persisting crystalline material. The @entity267 healed quickly after debridement with visual acuity improving from 6/9 to 6/6 in the affected eye. Microscopic examination demonstrated the corneal crystals to be irregularly shaped and nonrefractile with squared off edges. Raman spectroscopy partially identified the crystals as @entity460 based. CONCLUSIONS: Although @entity8976 of the @entity267 are infrequent, they may be challenging to manage. In addition to inactivation of the nematocysts and @entity158 management, early debridement of the foreign matter may aid in the rapid resolution of the symptoms.
