Photos These photographs were taken underwater at Honokowai by Ursula Keuper-Bennett. They illustrate pre-eruptive eyes.
Eyes signal problems well before a tumour erupts.
In our experience, ocular anomalies associated with FP can be detected typically a full year before a lump develops. Note the white discolouration and spotting on the conjunctiva. These are the early signs of fibropapilloma. Note also that the conjunctiva in these examples still shows the pleating of a normal eye. This is Limu in 1995.
