There has been a decreasing trend in the number of isolates in gram-positive microorganisms over the past 16 years. An increasing trend in resistance for various antibiotics against gram-negative and gram-positive isolates was identified. High susceptibility to vancomycin reinforced the empirical use of fortified tobramycin and vancomycin in the initial management of severe bacterial keratitis.

A combined treatment of accelerated CXL preceded by same day t-PTK and single ICRS is as effective as the combined treatment using standard CXL for visual rehabilitation in progressive keratoconus.
