Abstract

Corneal collagen cross linking with riboflavin (C3R) is a well-established procedure for halting the progression ofkeratoconus. We report the case of a 35-year-old male who developed pseudomonas associated corneal abscess following C3R for keratoconus after 4 days and was managed with therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) and topical antibiotics sensitive to pseudomonasi This case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely surgical intervention in post-C3R infectious keratitis.
