<unk>  (also known as seasonal corneal ulcer, Albury-Wodonga syndrome, harvester's eye, or harvester's keratitis) refers to a seasonal epidemic of corneal ulceration which predominantly occurs in a particular region of Australia, caused by chemicals released upon death by small native beetles in the area. This seasonal epidemic was first identified in the 1970s and for a long time it has remained poorly understood. The condition commonly occurs around<unk>  time, hence its name, in the south-west region of the New South Wales and north-east Victoria.<unk>  is monocular, meaning that the infection only occurs in one eye and it is known to be extremely painful. Many patients are actually awakened in the early hours of the mornings due to major pain. This condition is known to be terrible, such that patients have indicated that the pain is torturous and on par with giving birth. It is more tormenting for children, who often can't communicate the severity of the pain that they are experiencing. Regardless of the extreme pain that comes with contracting<unk> , the treatment and management of this condition is fairly straight forward. Once the condition is healed there have been no signs of ongoing damage.
