Corneal infection complicating acute corneal hydrops in keratoconus patients
This case series highlights the potential of corneal infection to complicate ACH in keratoconus, particularly in patients with atopic dermatitis. AS-OCT is useful for determining a precise diagnosis. The similarity in presentation between ACH and infectious keratitis suggests the need for careful clinical assessment and appropriate microbiological investigation.
