Mooren’s Ulcer: Diagnosis and Management

Background: Mooren’s ulcer (MU) is a rare and painful peripheral corneal ulceration which occurs in the absence of any associated scleritis, and any detectable systemic disease. The authors present a case of unilateral Mooren’s ulcer in a young, healthy man, which requires conjunctival resection for adequate control. Clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and current recommended therapeutic modalities for Mooren’s ulcer are discussed.
