2nd place: This picture shows the tear film evaluation of a 62 year old male patient using the keeler tearscope. This patient is used to wearing bifocal RGP lenses. He was complaining about dryness and blurred vision with the lenses which was caused by lipid deposition on the lens surface Photograph by Sylvia Wulf

3rd place: Acute corneal hydrops occurs when the cornea stretches to such a degree that a tear develops in Descemet’s membrance, allowing inflow of aqueous fluid into the corneal stroma. The corneal stroma can swell to greater than five times its normal thickness Photograph by Maria Jose Bautista
