Whats the treatment for non-ulcerative sterile keratitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually eyedrops: In the absence of infection, keratitis is most commonly due to varying degrees of dryness. Many over the counter lubricating eyedrops are available for this as well as ointments which help at night. Your ophthalmologist can define the best pathway for treatment.
