Subepithelial corneal deposits

Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a highly contagious form of viral conjunctivitis. The development of corneal inflammation (keratitis) distinguishes epidemic keratoconjunctivitis from other forms of conjunctivitis and usually arises after the fourth day following the initial onset of symptoms. Topical corticosteroids are often prescribed in severe cases, and while they do assist in reducing inflammatory symptoms and reducing subepithelial corneal infiltrates, they do not significantly reduce recovery time.
