The primary goals in treating keratitis are to address the underlying cause, promote ulcer healing, minimize corneal scarring, and prevent complications. Fungal infections, which are a common cause, can be treated with eye drops or anti-inflammatory medications. Keratitis is a serious condition requiring prompt treatment; when necessary, examination of secretions and corneal scrapings should be performed to identify the infectious agent and ensure appropriate therapy.
