Abstract
We examined a patient with psoriasis and stromal infiltrate that was treated with topical corticosteroids. The patient gradually improved and the stromal infiltrate diminished. The cause of psoriasis and its ocular manifestations remains unknown. A corneal abscess without epithelial infiltration that responds to topical corticosteroid therapy may represent a specific ocular manifestation of psoriasis.
