Early Treatment Response and 90-Day Vision in Microbial Keratitis

Key Points

• The central aim is to determine how early treatment responses relate to visual outcomes in microbial keratitis.
• Conducted a cohort study among patients with microbial keratitis in the US and India.
• Assessed presenting features upon diagnosis and early treatment responses.
• Evaluated 90-day best-corrected visual acuity outcomes.
• Identified specific early treatment response features linked to worse visual acuity at 90 days.
• Showed a correlation between presenting symptoms and treatment outcomes.
