Abstract

A 4-year-old castrated male Korean domestic shorthair cat was referred with bilateral corneal edema. Focal and generalizedacute bullous keratopathy in the oculus dexter and oculus sinister, respectively, were diagnosed by ophthalmologic examinations.Intensive topical treatment was administered to both eyes. A therapeutic soft contact lens was inserted in the oculus sinister as a cornealbandage instead of surgical treatment. The patient achieved complete recovery at 44 days after treatment. A therapeutic soft contact lensand an intensive regimen involving a topical hyperosmotic solution successfully treated acute bullous keratopathy in a feline patient.
