Thygeson's superficial punctate keratitis.

Purpose: Thygeson's superficial punctate keratitis (TSPK) is a chronic and recurrent corneal epitheliopathy. Although first described more than 70 years ago, the precise etiological mechanism and optimal treatment approach for TSPK has not been established. In this paper, we present an up-to date review of the literature and propose a step-by-step management protocol.

Retrospective analysis of ophthalmology referrals during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to prepandemic.
