SUPERFICIAL AMEBIC KERATITIS

Acanthamoeba keratitis is now a well-known entity. However most studie s report deep keratitis. We present 4 cases of superficial amebic kera titis in contact lens wearers. Clinical aspects were linear, polymorph ous alterations of the corneal epithelium. All patients healed with a combination of debridement of the epithelial lesions and Brolene eye d rops. Our cases demonstrate that early diagnosis with early treatment allow healing of superficial amebic keratitis.
