Abstract
Infectious crystalline keratopathy is characterized by a slowly progressive, white refractile anterior stromal infiltrate found in patients receiving long-term corticosteroid therapy. Streptococcus viridans has been identified as the cause in most of the reported cases. We treated a patient with infectious crystalline keratopathy caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa .#C2990015
