Subepithelial intracorneal hemorrhage in a soft contact lens user.

Purpose: To describe a case of spontaneous subepithelial hemorrhage in a soft contact lens user.

Methods: A 45-year-old man with irritation and decreased vision had four-quadrant pannus and corneal subepithelial hemorrhage in an annular pattern.

Results: The subepithelial hemorrhage was drained and the feeder vessel coagulated. The hemorrhage subsequently absorbed with time.

Conclusions: Soft contact lens users should be monitored for the development of significant neovascularization.
