Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Ophthalmology deparment, Military Hospital Rawalpindi during 06 months from 1st Jun 2001 to 31st Dec 2001.

Exclusion criteria was all cases of cataract surgery who had transient period of red eye were excluded from the study. Results: Out of 857 patients who reported with red eye during 06 months 32 cases fulfilled the criteria for microbial keratitis. The frequency of microbial keratitis in our population sample was found to be 3.7%. Out of 32 patients of microbial keratitis predisposing factors were found in most of the cases. These included history of accidental trauma in 14 patients (43.75%), bullous keratopathy in 3 patients (9.37%), corneal exposure in 3 (9.37%), contact lens wear in 2 (6.25%), dry eyes in 2 (6.75%), and corneal graft in one patient (3.13%). Two patients had history of excessive and prolonged use of topical steroids (6.25%). Conclusion: The frequency of microbial keratitis in our population sample was quite common. Patients coming with ophthalmic problems, i.e., red eye, photophobia, irritation and watering to the general practitioner should be referred as soon as possible to the ophthalmology department.khalid NaimatFarooq AhmadMohammad Shahbaz AminArmy Medical College Rawalpindiarticlebullous keratopathymocrobial keratitispredisposing factorsMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENPakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, Vol 69, Iss 5, Pp 1134-1138 (2019)
