[Superficial amebic keratitis].
Acanthamoeba keratitis is now a well-known entity. However most studies report deep keratitis. We present 4 cases of superficial amebic keratitis in contact lens wearers. Clinical aspects were linear, polymorphous alterations of the corneal epithelium. All patients healed with a combination of debridement of the epithelial lesions and Brolene eye drops. Our cases demonstrate that early diagnosis with early treatment allow healing of superficial amebic keratitis.
