Crystalline keratopathy is a condition in which crystals of various kinds are deposited in the corneal epithelium and/or in the anterior stroma. It may have an infectious, pharmacological cause or, in rarer cases, corneal dystrophies. Certain factors such as a previous epithelial defect, systemic pathology with diabetes mellitus, ocular surgery and previous dry eye can favor the deposition of ciprofloxacin leading to the formation of a keratopathy.
