Two patients with confirmed AK and 1 patient with presumptive AK, which were all refractive to multi drug conventional therapy were included in this study. Two treatment sessions involving topical application of 0. B2 solution to the ocular surface combined with 3. UVA irradiation focused on the corneal ulcer were carried out. Main outcome measures were clinical examination by slit lamp, confocal microscopy, and histopathology, when available. All patients in these series showed a rapid reduction in their symptoms and decreased ulcer size after the first treatment session. The progress of the clinical improvement began to slow after 1 to 3 weeks of the first application and was then renewed after the second application. All ancillary signs of inflammation mostly resolved after the second treatment session. The ulcers in all patients continued to decrease and were closed within 3 to 7 weeks of the first application. Two patients developed dense central corneal scars, and penetrating keratoplasty was performed for visual rehabilitation. Histopathological examination of the excised tissue revealed no Acanthamoeba organisms. The remaining patient had no symptoms or signs of infection, both clinically and by confocal microscopy, and was left with a semi transparent eccentric scar that did not affect visual acuity. The authors concluded that adjunctive use of UVA and B2 therapy seems to be a possible alternative for selected cases of medication resistant AK. Moreover, they noted that further research is needed and currently underway to examine how best to use photochemical therapy for the treatment of infectious keratitis.
