About Bacterial keratoconjunctivitis.

Bacterial keratoconjunctivitis is an infectious ocular condition characterized by concurrent bacterial infection and inflammation of both the cornea and the conjunctiva.

It typically arises when disruption of the ocular surface defenses—frequently secondary to contact lens wear, trauma, severe dry eye, or underlying eyelid disease—allows pathogens such as *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, or *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* to invade ocular tissues.

Clinically, it presents with conjunctival hyperemia, mucopurulent discharge, eye pain, photophobia, foreign body sensation, and corneal epithelial defects or stromal infiltrates.

Without prompt recognition and antimicrobial management, this condition poses a significant risk for corneal ulceration, permanent stromal scarring, corneal perforation, and irreversible vision loss.
