Epub 2014 Jul 2.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.10/1335We 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.engEye injuriesAsclepias physocarpaOcular toxicity secondary to asclepias physocarpa: the balloon plantjournal article10.1155/2014/829469
