“…Infectious keratitis presents with a more localized, irregular infiltrate and in most cases has a more delayed onset after surgery than DLK, although it can develop as early as postoperative day 1.

Davidson et al 27 describe a case of optic nerve deterioration resulting from steroid-induced glaucoma when a patient was treated with steroids for DLK.…”

“…7 Reports indicate increased activity against gram-positive bacteria, especially Streptococcus pneumoniae, 3 as well as enhanced activity against anaerobes 3 and nontuberculous mycobacterial keratitis. 8,9 Incidents of bacterial keratitis after refractive surgery have been described, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] but to our knowledge, there have not been numerous reported cases of patients with bacterial keratitis after LASIK or PRK using fourth-generation fluoroquinolones. We report 2 such cases that were referred to our facilities.…”
