Purpose:
|
To introduce a patient diagnosed with Infectious Crystalline Keratopathy(ICK) following corneal cross-linking for keratoconus treated with intrastromal vancomycin infiltration.
|
|
Methods:
|
Corneal superficial keratectomy was done.Smear and culture revealed staphylococcus aureus as the responsible pathogen.Topical fortified vancomycin drops failed to show significant response.intracorneal vancomycin was injected to the affected area.
|
|
Results:
|
The response to intrastromal infiltration of vancomycin was dramatic.The lesion healed with minimal scarring.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
ICK can occur after corneal cross-linking in an otherwise healthy cornea. this is first for the method, in which the intrastromal vancomycin was administered to treat staphylococcal crystalline keratopathy after corneal cross-linking.
