Abstract
A 21 year old man developed Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis 23 months after a reoperation for radial keratotomy. The ulcer developed in one of the inferior incision sites, presumably as a result of poor epithelial wound healing. Prompt medical therapy with fortified antibiotics led to normal visual recovery.
