title: Keratitis and corneal melt with ketorolac tromethamine after conductive keratoplasty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of keratitis and corneal melt after conductive keratoplasty (CK) enhancement.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 52-year-old woman with emmetropic presbyopia had undergone previous CK for monovision and underwent CK enhancement 4 years later. Postoperatively, she was managed with ketorolac tromethamine 0.4% and developed keratitis and corneal melt.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first reported case of keratitis and corneal melt associated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory topical medications in a post-CK patient.
