How long does it take acute keratitis to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: This is largely dependant on the cause of the keratitis (viral, bacterial, chemical, exposure etc.). Assuming the offending factor has been removed, the cornea will generally heal in a few days. Either way, the problem should be managed with your eye doctor.
