Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of topical agents for the treatment of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). DESIGN: Laboratory research. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-six Acanthamoeba isolates from 56 patients with clinically proven AK were studied. METHODS: The effectiveness of 7 agents against Acanthamoeba cysts was determined in vitro. The agents were 1.0% povidone-iodine, 0.05% benzalkonium chloride (BZC), 0.02%...
