摘要：
Acanthamoeba keratitis is a serious infection of the eye that can result in permanent visual impairment or blindness, caused by free-living amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba. Early diagnosis is necessary for effective treatment of Acanthamoeba keratitis. Acanthamoeba is abundant in nature and can be found in water, soil, and air. Acanthamoeba keratitis is usually diagnosed by culture from a scraping of the eye or by confocal microscopy. In this paper, two complicated Acanthamoeba keratitis cases are reported.
