PURPOSE: To report a case of keratitis and corneal melt after conductive keratoplasty (CK) enhancement.

METHOD: Case report.

RESULTS

A 52-year-old woman with emmetropic presbyopia had undergone previous CK for monovision and underwent CK enhancement 4 years later. Postoperatively, she was managed with ketorolac tromethamine 0.4% and developed keratitis and corneal melt.
