There are no suggested homeopathic remedies that can be used as treatments for keratitis. A doctor should be seen. The doctor will probably prescribe medicated eye drops and the use of an eye patch to keep the eye from being irritated further.

Herpes simplex keratitis is a common corneal epithelial infection in humans and felines. My answer will address treatment of HSV-1 in humans and not feline herpesvirus (FHV). The best treatment for herpes simplex keratitis is topical application of the antiviral ganciclovir in the form of an ophthalmic gel. Alternative treatments include trifluridine solution and vidarabine ointment, but these are more likely to be cytotoxic to the epithelium than the ganciclovir.

If a lens is contaminated with Staphylococcus, it can lead to eye infections such as conjunctivitis or keratitis. If contaminated with Acanthamoeba, it can lead to a severe and difficult-to-treat form of keratitis called Acanthamoeba keratitis. It is essential to avoid using contaminated lenses and seek medical attention immediately if any symptoms of infection occur.

Inflammation of the cornea, known as keratitis, is a condition where the cornea becomes swollen and irritated. It can be caused by infections, injuries, or underlying conditions such as dry eye syndrome. Symptoms may include eye pain, redness, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, along with medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.

Definition

Interstitial keratitis is the inflammation of the tissue of the cornea, the clear window on the front of the eye. The condition can lead to vision loss.

Alternative Names

Keratitis interstitial

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Interstitial keratitis is a serious condition in which blood vessels grow into the cornea. Such growth can cause loss of the normal transparency (clarity) of the cornea. This condition is often caused by infections and may cause severe visual problems.

Syphilis is the most common cause of interstitial keratitis, but rare causes include leprosy and tuberculosis. Most cases in the developed world occur in patients with fully established syphilis.

In the United States, most cases of syphilis are recognized and treated before this eye condition occurs. However, interstitial keratitis remains the most common cause of blindness in the world.

SymptomsSigns and tests

Interstitial keratitis can be easily diagnosed by physical examination of the eyes with slit-lamp examination. Blood tests and chest x-rays will usually be needed to confirm the infection causing the condition.

Treatment

The underlying disease must be treated. Treatment of the cornea with corticosteroid drops may minimize scarring and help preserve the clarity of the cornea.

Once the clear covering of the cornea is gone, a corneal transplantation is required.

Expectations (prognosis)

If interstitial keratitis is diagnosed early and treated effectively, the corneal clarity and thus good vision will be preserved.

Complications

A corneal transplantation is not as successful for interstitial keratitis as it is for most other corneal diseases. The presence of blood vessels in the diseased cornea brings white blood cells to the newly transplanted cornea and increases the risk of rejection.

Calling your health care provider

All patients with interstitial keratitis will be closely followed by an ophthalmologist and a medical specialist with expertise in the underlying disease. Any worsening pain, increasing redness, or decreasing vision should be evaluated immediately. This is particularly crucial for patients with corneal transplants.

Prevention

Prevention consists of avoiding the underlying infection, and if infected, receiving prompt and thorough treatment and follow-up.

Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare but serious eye infection caused by a microscopic amoeba found in soil, air, and water. It typically affects contact lens wearers, especially those who do not follow proper lens hygiene, and can lead to severe pain, redness, and potential vision loss if not treated promptly. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through laboratory tests, and treatment involves prescription medications to kill the parasite and alleviate symptoms.

Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare but serious eye infection caused by a free-living amoeba found in the environment. Symptoms include severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and feeling like something is in the eye. Risk factors include contact lens use, poor contact lens hygiene, and exposure to contaminated water sources. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and vision loss.

Definition

The cornea is the transparent area at the front of the eyeball. A corneal ulcer is an erosion or open sore in the outer layer of the cornea. It is associated with infection.

See also: Corneal injury

Alternative Names

Bacterial keratitis; Fungal keratitis; Acanthamoeba keratitis; Herpes simplex keratitis

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Corneal ulcers are most commonly caused by an infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasite. Other causes include:

  • Abrasions (scratches)
  • Foreign bodies in the eye
  • Inadequate eyelid closure
  • Severely dry eyes
  • Severe allergic eye disease
  • Various inflammatory disorders

Contact lens wear, especially soft contact lenses worn overnight, may cause a corneal ulcer. Herpes simplex keratitis is a serious viral infection. It may cause repeated attacks that are triggered by stress, exposure to sunlight, or any condition that impairs the immune system.

Fungal keratitis can occur after a corneal injury involving plant material, or in immunosuppressed people. Acanthamoeba keratitis occurs in contact lens users, especially those who attempt to make their own homemade cleaning solutions.

Risk factors are dry eyes, severe allergies, history of inflammatory disorders, contact lens wear, immunosuppression, trauma, and generalized infection.

SymptomsSigns and tests

Blood tests to check for inflammatory disorders may also be needed.

Treatment

Treating corneal ulcers and infections depends on the cause. They should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further injury to the cornea. Patients usually start treatment with an antibiotic that is effective against many bacteria. More specific antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal eye drops are prescribed as soon as the cause of the ulcer has been identified.

Corticosteroid eye drops may be used to reduce inflammation in certain conditions. Severe ulcers may need to be treated with corneal transplantation.

Expectations (prognosis)

Untreated, a corneal ulcer or infection can permanently damage the cornea. Untreated corneal ulcers may also perforate the eye (cause holes), resulting in spread of the infection inside, increasing the risk of permanent visual problems.

Complications
  • Loss of the eye
  • Severe vision loss
  • Scars on the cornear
Calling your health care provider

Call your health care provider if you develop impaired vision, severe light sensitivity, or eye pain.

Prevention

Prompt, early attention by an ophthalmologist for an eye infection may prevent ulcers from forming. Wash hands and pay very close attention to cleanliness while handling contact lenses. Avoid wearing contact lenses overnight.

Some common pathogens that can infect the eye include bacteria (such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus), viruses (such as herpes simplex virus and adenovirus), fungi (such as Candida and Aspergillus), and parasites (such as Acanthamoeba). These pathogens can cause a variety of eye infections, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and endophthalmitis. Proper hygiene, avoiding contact with infected individuals, and seeking prompt medical treatment can help prevent and manage eye infections caused by pathogens.
