Abstract
We report a case of Nocardia keratitis following corneal cross-linking for progressive keratoconus. A 26-year-old otherwise healthy woman underwent crosslinking for keratoconus in her left eye. She presented with corneal infiltrates with a wreath-like pattern, on the seventh postoperative day. Gram's and acid-fast staining revealed Nocardia. She was managed with topical fortified amikacin 2.5% eye drops. The keratitis resolved to leave dense vascularization which was managed with topical prednisolone 1% eye drops.
