Keratitis

This presentation provides an in-depth overview of keratitis, an inflammatory condition of the cornea that may result from infection, trauma, contact lens misuse, dry eye, or autoimmune disease. It explains corneal anatomy and defence mechanisms, major risk factors, symptoms, and the processes that lead to corneal damage. The presentation examines bacterial, viral, fungal, and Acanthamoeba keratitis, including their clinical features, diagnosis, and management. It also discusses potential complications, preventive measures, emerging treatments, and regenerative and peptide-based approaches for supporting corneal and ocular health.
