title: Corneal collagen crosslinking in the treatment of infectious keratitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the use of corneal collagen crosslinking in the treatment of infective keratitis not responding to antimicrobial therapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two retrospective case reports of infective keratitis treated with corneal collagen crosslinking.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In both cases, corneal collagen crosslinking caused a rapid resolution of the infective keratitis, leaving residual stromal scarring. Due to the density of scarring, one case required subsequent penetrating keratoplasty for visual rehabilitation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Corneal collagen crosslinking is a promising new technique for the management of infective keratitis not responding to antimicrobial therapy. Further elucidation of its safety and role in management of infectious keratitis is needed by way of future studies.
