PURPOSE: To describe a case of Acanthamoeba infection of the cornea after radial and astigmatic keratotomy.
METHODS: A 29-year-old man developed ulcerative keratitis in the right eye 6 weeks after uncomplicated radial and astigmatic keratotomy.
RESULTS: Three sets of corneal cultures for bacteria and fungi were negative. Culture on non-nutrient agar grew Acanthamoeba organisms. Clinical improvement occurred after topical antiamebic therapy was instituted.
CONCLUSIONS: Incisional keratotomy may predispose the cornea to delayed-onset infectious keratitis. Acanthamoeba should be considered as a possible cause of infection and should be cultured for in refractory cases.
