Painless acanthamoeba keratitis:A case report
Optometry 2004
One of the hallmarks of keratitis caused by acanthamoeba is
the severe pain associated with the condition, which may be
out of proportion to the apparent degree of corneal
involvement. The case of acanthamoeba keratitis described
here is atypical, in that the patient never complained of any pain.
Although a couple of case reports do exist in the literature1,2,
research suggests that this is the first reported case of painless
acanthamoeba keratitis in the UK.
