Activity Outline
As new classes of antibiotics remain scarce, there is an increasing need for alternative antimicrobial treatments. This article explores a novel light-based anti-infective technology currently being investigated as a potential solution for managing infectious keratitis.
Infectious keratitis can have severe consequences, often leading to permanent vision loss. These infections are typically treated with targeted antibiotic therapy, which is usually effective. However, the growing global issue of antibiotic resistance has raised concerns about the effectiveness of antibiotics against ocular isolates and the potential for suboptimal treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise the risks factors for infectious keratitis
- Be aware of the most prescribed initial treatments for infectious keratitis
- Realise the potential to treat infectious keratitis with UV
