Ophthalmology observed subepithelial
corneal infiltrates, but they were not felt to be consistent with classic interstitial keratitis.
On the other hand, corneal debridement can be a cause of multiple complications, such as
corneal infiltrates, subepithelial haze, ulcers, and scarring [25, 26].
Observing a slow improvement in the epithelial defect and
corneal infiltrates after 3 days, autologous serum eye drops (20% diluted with 0.9% sterile saline) four times daily and topical cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% (Restasis ([R])) eye drops four times daily were added to the initial therapy and punctal occlusion was performed using silicone plugs (Punctal Plug F, FCI Ophthalmics).
For arcus senilis, corneal scars,
corneal infiltrates, abnormal corneal shape/size, e.g.: keratoconus.
Know the correct management of
corneal infiltrates (Group 5.2.1) Know how to recognise
corneal infiltrates and the differential diagnosis (Group 6.1.5) Understand the causes and disease process of
corneal infiltrates (Group 6.1.11)
* Acute stromal keratitis: Peripheral
corneal infiltrates are superficial or mid-stromal and associated with non necrotising scleritis.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show anterior segment photographs of patients with anterior and posterior blepharitis, and peripheral sterile
corneal infiltrates, respectively.
Each of the 30 patients of the study group with a diagnosis of recalcitrant microbial keratitis and
corneal infiltrates involving up to posterior stroma were given antifungal therapy of topical 5% Natamycin eye drops and tablet Itraconazole 100 mg bd.
(3) Complications common to both procedures may include over- and under-correction of refractive error, irregular astigmatism, visual aberrations, dry eyes, sterile
corneal infiltrates, infectious keratitis and recurrent corneal erosions.
In their retrospective analysis of 24 cases of ocular rosacea, Muftuoglu and Akova observed meibomitis in all eyes, blepharitis in 83%, punctate keratopathy in 67%, chalazion and corneal neovascularization in 50% and peripheral
corneal infiltrates in 16.6% of eyes.
The condition may be accompanied by pain,
corneal infiltrates, pus in the anterior chamber and iritis.
