ICK is often challenging due to the difficult diagnosis and treatment conditions. The refractory courses are mainly attributed to a biofilm formation, which inhibits effective topical anti-infectious treatment. In such cases, (repeat) PKP may be necessary to completely remove the pathology, prevent recurrences, and improve vision.
