Purpose: Present a case of Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV)-induced intraepithelial corneal deposits, review a proposed mechanism to explain the blurred vision our patient experienced, and explain clinical exams that may be used to support the diagnosis.
Observations: A 63-year-old female with metastatic ovarian cancer diagnosed with intraepithelial corneal deposits two weeks after her first MIRV infusion. Treatment with topical prednisolone acetate 1 % ophthalmic suspension and lubricating eye drops without interruption of her MIRV infusions resulted in complete resolution of blurry vision and corneal deposits.

The study applied a novel approach of raising , from ten wild-derived genetic lines on naturally fermented peaches, preserving genuine microbial conditions.
