ABSTRACT
·A 27-year-old man was stung by a bee presented with severe pain in the right eye. It was associated with reduced vision and swelling of the eyelids. A retained stinger was identified at the center of the cornea, surrounded by dense corneal oedema and numerous folds in the Descemet's membrane. The sting was removed completely. He subsequently developed persistent corneal oedema and heterochromia iridis. He was treated with intensive topical steroids. He underwent penetrating keratoplasty five months after the injury. His visual acuity was satisfactory one year after the surgery. Corneal oedema is an uncommon complication of bee sting injuries. It can be persistent and results in severe visual impairment. An early penetrating keratoplasty offers a good visual outcome after bee sting injury.
