• 1

  A study using FAERS data identified 17 drugs significantly associated with drug-related keratitis.

• 2

  Dorzolamide had the highest reporting odds ratio (ROR) of 3695.82, indicating a substantial risk for keratitis.

• 3

  The study found that non-ophthalmic drugs had a shorter time to keratitis onset compared to ophthalmic medications.

• 4

  Seven of the identified drugs were ophthalmic, while ten were non-ophthalmic medications.

• 5

  The researchers concluded that dorzolamide, not its preservative benzalkonium chloride, caused keratitis in a specific patient.
