Methamphetamine use can cause serious eye infections and corneal damage, leading to vision loss. This study highlights two cases of methamphetamine-induced keratitis, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and research into this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Toxicology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Methamphetamine-induced keratitis is an understudied cause of corneal pathology.
  • Corneal stromalysis and infections are recognized complications.

Observation:

  • This report details two clinical cases of keratitis.
  • Patients presented with a history of methamphetamine use.

Findings:

  • The cases illustrate the presentation and clinical course of methamphetamine-induced keratitis.
  • Corneal complications associated with methamphetamine abuse require clinical attention.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of methamphetamine-induced keratitis is crucial for ophthalmologists and healthcare providers.
