Overview

Keratitis is a condition in which the eye's cornea is inflamed. Superficial keratitis involves the superficial layers of the cornea. After healing, this form of keratitis does not generally leave a scar. Deep keratitis involves the deeper layers of the cornea, leaving a scar upon healing that impairs vision if on or near the visual axis. Keratitis has multiple causes, one of which is an infection of a present or previous herpes simplex virus secondary to an upper respiratory infection, involving cold sores. Symptoms of keratitis include red eyes, sensitivity to light, and uncomfortable eyes. In the later stages of more severe cases, there can be strong pain, loss of vision, blurry vision, and pus. Microbial keratitis should be managed as bacterial keratitis until proven otherwise. Steroids are indicated in the management of keratitis to reduce inflammation that may damage the eye.

Classification

Superficial keratitis involves the superficial layers of the cornea. After healing, this form of keratitis does not generally leave a scar.

Deep keratitis involves deeper layers of the cornea, leaving a scar upon healing that impairs vision if on or near the visual axis.

Pathophysiology

Keratitis has multiple causes, one of which is an infection of a present or previous herpes simplex virus secondary to an upper respiratory infection, involving cold sores.

Pathogens

  • Amoebic keratitis. Amoebic infection of the cornea is the most serious corneal infection, usually affecting soft contact lens wearers. It is usually caused by Acanthamoeba. On May 25, 2007, the CDC issued a health advisory due to increased risk of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK)infection associated with use of Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose eye solution. See CDC Advisory
  • Bacterial keratitis. Bacterial infection of the cornea can follow from an injury or from wearing contact lenses. The bacteriums usually involved are Staphylococcus aureus and for contact lens wearers Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • Fungal keratitis (cf. Fusarium, causing recent incidences of keratitis through the possible vector of Bausch & Lomb ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution)
  • Viral keratitis

Causes in Alphabetical Order

Symptoms

The symptoms are often very similar to those of conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the conjunctiva, and photophobia. The eye turns very red and there may be sensitivity to light, and the eye may feel uncomfortable. In the later stages of more severe cases, there can be strong pain, loss of vision/blurriness, and pus may form.

Diagnosis

Effective diagnosis is important in detecting this condition and subsequent treatment as keratitis is sometimes mistaken for an allergic conjunctivitis.

Treatment

  • Treatment depends on the cause of the keratitis.
  • Microbial keratitis should be managed as bacterial keratitis until proven otherwise.
  • Steroids are indicated in the management of keratitis to reduce inflammation that may damage the eye.
