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.
