Abstract

Abstract: In this case series, we will describe sterile keratitis in the early postoperative period after hypotonic collagen cross-linking (CXL) in two pediatric cases. This is a retrospective case series of two eyes of two children who developed inflammatory keratitis with central corneal haze after uneventful epithelial-off hypotonic CXL. After ensuring microbiological sterility, appropriate treatment with topical steroids and lubricants was started. There was complete resolution of corneal infiltrates with minimal scarring. Both patients regained almost the preoperative best-corrected visual acuity of 20/80 and 20/60, respectively.
