Editor,—Spontaneous intracorneal haemorrhage leading to corneal discoloration is an uncommon occurrence. The few such reported cases of spontaneous intracorneal haemorrhage have been due to contact lens related deep stromal neovascularisation, erosion of a vessel due to corneal ulceration, and rupture of reopened ghost vessels in a patient with interstitial keratitis and systemic hypertension. Corneal blood staining clinically represents a reddish-brown, or greenish-yellow discoloration of the cornea resulting from blunt trauma and subsequent hyphaema with raised intraocular pressures or less commonly by intrastromal haemorrhage in the presence of corneal vascularisation.1 The term “corneal blood staining” has been used to refer only to the latter in this case report—a case of spontaneous intracorneal haemorrhage related to acne rosacea associated corneal vascularisation.
