Central Toxic Keratopathy After Contact Lens Wear and Mechanical Debridement: Clinical Characteristics, and Visual and Corneal Tomographic Outcomes

Conclusions: Central toxic keratopathy is not an exclusive complication of LRS, and it may occur after CL wear and mechanical debridement. Our findings are similar to those of LRS-related CTK and toxic peripheral keratopathy. Awareness of the clinical associations and understanding of the clinical course and tomographic characteristics of CTK helps obviate unnecessary investigation and overtreatment. Further studies are required to elucidate the underlying pathogenesis of this rare clinical entity.
