Özet
A keratoconus patient, which is 17 years old male, is treated with corneal cross-linking process for his right eye. Two in the
superior and two in the inferior, totally four corneal keratitis foci have been seen after post-operation first day controls. The
superior eyelid meibomitis has been determined after detailed examination. It was thought that the keratitis foci developed
because of this process. The patient hospitalizated and his treatment is reorganized. Corneal keratitis foci became smaller, corneal
epithelial defects totally cicatrized after 6 days treatment and the patient was discharged. On the follow-ups, keratitis foci were
recured by a minimal nephelions. As a result, although cross-linking process of keratoconus treatments are less invasive than the
other methods, bacterial keratitis can be seen in the presence of predisposing factors. Meibomitis can lead to the development of
bacterial keratitis as in our case.
