Purpose: Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is effective not only in halting the progression of keratoconus but also in management of infectious keratitis. However, as far as we can ascertain, there are no reports of CXL for the treatment of severe infectious keratitis in Japan. Thus, we report 2 cases in which CXL was effective for infectious corneal ulcer.
