First aid for complications of infectious keratitis.
Infectious keratitis is a fairly common entity in India. However while paying attention to the primary entity, the associated events may be overlooked.

However, contrary to logic, a sudden decrease in pain is also likely to suggest a worsening, e.g. perforation of the corneal ulcer. Various such problems with their management are outlined.
