A Case Report: Nepafenac Eye Drops induced Unilateral Corneal Melt

Riddhi Bhatt, Mayuri Gurjar, Alpa Gor, Bharat Gajjar.

Abstract
This case report gives the details of a 46-year-old female, who developed a rare & severe side effect – unilateral left sided corneal melt with the use of Nepafenac 0.1% eyedrops, which had been chronically used in both the eyes by her for retinitis pigmentosa. Prolonged use of Nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or the altered pH of the eyedrops can be the contributing factors for such severe side effect.

Key words: Nepafenac, corneal melt, eyedrops
