== Symptoms and signs== A patient with TSPK may complain of blurred [[Visual perception|vision]], dry eyes, a sensation of having a foreign body stuck in the eye, photophobia (sensitivity to bright light), burning sensations and watery eyes. On inspection with a [[slit lamp]], tiny lumps can be found on the [[cornea]] of the eye. These lumps can be more easily seen after applying [[fluorescein]] or rose Bengal dye eye-drops. The lumps appear to be randomly positioned on the cornea and they may appear and disappear over a period of time (with or without treatment). TSPK may affect one or both eyes. When both eyes are affected, the tiny lumps found on the cornea may differ in number between eyes. The severity of the [[symptom]]s often vary during the course of the disease. The disease may appear to go into remission, only to later reappear after months or years.
