| Summary: | Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare form of chronic pseudomembranous conjunctivitis characterized by membranes on the conjunctiva. The
disease usually affects children but can occur at older age as well. Similar lesions may develop on other mucous membranes of the body

terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 458-63) |
