Abstract
Introduction Often associated with contact lens wear, Acanthamoeba keratitis is an extremely painful blinding infection that has remained significant despite advances in drug discovery and chemotherapies. Current treatment is intricate and demands early diagnosis, aggressive and prolonged application, and may result in infection recurrence. The latter is due to the ability of the parasite to undergo cellular differentiation and transform into a resistant cyst form or infective trophozoite form.
