A Case Report of Severe Corneal Toxicity following 0.5% Topical Moxifloxacin Use.Moxifloxacin is a widely used topical antibiotic in various bacterial infections of the eye.  A 10-year-old female who had presented with acute bacterial conjunctivitis in both eyes with no corneal involvement was started on preservative-free 0.5% topical moxifloxacin four times a day.  Topical moxifloxacin was discontinued, following which the cornea cleared dramatically and the visual acuity became normal.  This case indicates that though rare, topical moxifloxacin can cause severe keratitis and that more studies need to be conducted to evaluate its safety.
