Bee stings through the cornea
Bee stings through the cornea are relatively rare.
With the advent of more aggressive killer bees, this is becoming more common. The pure number of stings during an attack by killer bees make it is more likely the eye will be stung, not because the bees are targeting your eyes.
The bee stingers can be retained in the cornea (the clear window of the eye) after an attack. There is no consensus on how to deal with the retained stingers, but if they are causing inflammation or non-healing of the eye they must be removed.
We show a video of Dr. Kavanagh removing a stinger from a patient's eye under local anesthetic.
