Bacterial keratitis is a serious and potentially sight-threatening infection of the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye. It is caused by the invasion of bacteria into the corneal tissue, often resulting from corneal trauma, contact lens use, or compromised ocular surfaces. Common bacterial culprits include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Symptoms of bacterial keratitis include eye pain, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye. Timely diagnosis is essential, typically involving a thorough eye examination and corneal cultures. Treatment for bacterial keratitis involves the prompt administration of topical antibiotics specific to the identified bacteria. Severe cases may require additional interventions such as corneal debridement or surgery. Preventive measures include proper contact lens hygiene, avoiding eye trauma, and seeking prompt medical attention for any eye injuries. Prompt and appropriate management is crucial in preventing complications and preserving visual function in cases of bacterial keratitis.
