Abstract
PEREZ-MARTINOT, Manuel. Corneal deposits likely caused by topical ciprofloxacin after corneal cross-linking. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.3, pp.189-191. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v31i3.3809.
There are ocular topical medicines like ciprofloxacin that when used alone or in combination can deposit on the cornea after surgical procedures during the period of cornel de-epithelization. We present here the first case reported in the country of a patient with keratoconus who presented corneal deposits after undergoing corneal cross-linking likely due to the use of topical ciprofloxacin.
