Abstract
To document the development of corneal perforation after using gatifloxacin to treat inflamed pterygium.
A 30-year-old man developed corneal perforation after using gatifloxacin to treat inflamed pterygium.
After treatment with gatifloxacin was stopped, the perforation was managed by applying cyanoacrylate glue, followed by pterygium excision.
If used in the management of inflamed pterygium, gatifloxacin may predispose patients to corneal perforation.
