- Ocular toxicity secondary to asclepias physocarpa: the balloon plantPublication . Pina, S; Pedrosa, C; Santos, C; Feijóo, B; Pego, P; Vendrell, C; Santos, MJ; Prieto, IWe report a case of a 65-year-old woman with symptoms of blurred vision and ocular irritation a few hours after accidental contact of the right eye with Asclepias physocarpa milky latex. Observation showed a diffuse conjunctival hyperemia and stromal corneal edema with Descemet's membrane folds. Recovery was fast and apparently complete in less than one month. However, specular microscopy at 6-months follow-up showed an abnormal endothelial morphology as sequelae, suggesting this condition is not as innocuous as it has been suggested.
