Abstract Details

Purpose:

To report the first case of corneal deposits following the use of preservative-free topical moxifloxacin 0.5% eye drops

Setting:

King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Methods:

We described the first case of corneal deposits following the use of preservative-free topical moxifloxacin 0.5% eye drops in a 26-year-old male with keratoconus who underwent a unilateral corneal cross-linking.

Results:

Complete resolution of corneal deposits occurred four months after drug discontinuation without sequelae.

Conclusions:

Too frequent and prolonged instillation of moxifloxacin eye drops led to corneal precipitation in our case. Complete resolution of corneal deposits occurred four months after drug discontinuation without sequelae.
