    At first glance, infectious keratitis may appear similar. However, bacterial, fungal, herpes simplex, and Acanthamoeba keratitis each have distinct clinical features, risk factors, and management strategies.

    Early and accurate diagnosis is essential, as delayed or inappropriate treatment may lead to corneal scarring, perforation, and irreversible vision loss.

    This infographic provides a concise overview of the most common infectious diseases of the cornea, highlighting their characteristic clinical features and key management principles. I hope it serves as a valuable educational resource for medical students, general practitioners, residents, and healthcare professionals committed to improving patient care.
