Abstract | PURPOSE: OBSERVATIONS: A 31-year-old male presented with right eye pain and redness in the setting of fresh water exposure and scleral contact lens wear. He had lack of a response to treatment with antiviral therapy for 3 months by an outside provider. Cultures were found to be positive for Acanthamoeba and the patient was treated with an extended course of various anti-amoebic therapies with poor compliance due to pain and toxicity. He was eventually treated with intrastromal voriconazole and Miltefosine without improvement and eventually had PACK-CXL with resolution of his infection and pain. CONCLUSION:
