heal.abstractOver a period of 6 years, 23 patients (4 males and 19 females: mean age 56 years) who presented dry eyes developed 33 sterile corneal ulcers. Treatment included occlusion of the eyes or bandage soft contact lenses, prophylactic topical administration of antibiotics, punctal occlusions and currently available tear substitutes. Seventeen eyes healed completely without any corneal opacity and 10 eyes healed with opacity. Nine of the 33 eyes developed microbial keratitis. The causes of microbial keratitis were Staphylococcus aureus in 7 cases, beta-hemolytic Streptococcus in one and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in one case. The microbial keratitis was treated with intensive topical antibiotics. In 6 eyes, corneal perforation occurred. Rheumatoid arthritis coexisted in four cases.en
