What is Scleromalacia perforans?

Scleromalacia perforans is one of the rarest eye diseases, an autoimmune condition where the body gradually destroys the sclera — the white outer layer of the eye.

It often looks like a severe infection, but there’s no redness, no inflammation, and no actual infection. Because early stages are nearly symptom-free, the disease can progress for years before it’s noticed. It’s frequently linked to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and is so uncommon that many eye doctors never see a case.

There’s no single cure, and treatment focuses on suppressing the immune response and preserving vision. The condition is a reminder that eye changes can signal deeper systemic disease.

This is known as a CAT POPPED BLISTER

"Spilled boiling water on my foot. I had a wool sock on and had to free my hands from the pot before I could take it off.

Hurt like hell. Had been keeping this bandaged nicely, but as I'm lying in bed, my cat tries to get cozy on my feet and accidentally pops my blister."
