Abstract Corneal infection or Keratitis is a leading cause of ocular morbidity andblindness worldwide. Keratitis is a suppurative, ulcerative, and sight threatening infection of the cornea that leads to loss of the eye if mistreated or left untreated which is a common scenario in developing countries including India. The National Programme for Control of Blindness stresses on early diagnosis & management of causes of blindness like corneal ulcer (requiring transplant of donated eyes), Cataract, Glaucoma and Refractive errors. National Programme for Control of Blindness–India, in a report ranks trachoma and other corneal scarring at 3rd position and Glaucoma at 5th position both being practically inevitable complications of keratitis at advanced stages.Corneal infection thus can be considered to be the root to almost half of theprevalent causes of blindness in India. Emerging antibiotic resistance makes it important for us to know the present and emerging pathological trends treatment of which requires formulation of an uncompromising protocol such as the antibiogram prepared in the study. The dissemination of the results of this study will help reduce global burden of blindness as a whole.
