Acanthamoeba Keratitis: Analysis of Risk Factors, Diagnostic Modalities, and Clinical Outcomes at a Tertiary Referral Ophthalmic Unit

PHMB 0.06% monotherapy is highly effective in treating Acanthamoeba keratitis, achieving a medical cure in 91.9% of eyes. CL water exposure remains the leading risk factor. While IVCM is the most sensitive diagnostic tool, its limited availability means that clinical judgment in the context of relevant risk factors remains essential for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract

PHMB 0.06% monotherapy is highly effective in treating Acanthamoeba keratitis, achieving a medical cure in 91.9% of eyes. CL water exposure remains the leading risk factor. While IVCM is the most sensitive diagnostic tool, its limited availability means that clinical judgment in the context of relevant risk factors remains essential for timely diagnosis and treatment.
