A 26-year-old otherwise healthy female was noted to have multiple parallel scars on her inferotemporal peripheral cornea of right eye [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b. The scars were due to repeated anterior chamber paracentesis during different episodes of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (Bevacizumab-1.25 mg/0.05 mL; on treatment for her idiopathic choroidal neovascular membrane). They resemble the classical self-harm hesitancy wounds[1] [Figure 1]c and thus have been described so. Judicial use of oral and topical perioperative antiglaucoma medications could have avoided the insult. | Figure 1: (a) diffuse illumination and (b) oblique focal illumination showing corneal scars; (c) sample of hesitancy cuts in a self-harm subject
