**8.1.4 Anterior uveitis**

Infectious keratitis itself explains the great inflammation that is seen after PK in these patients. The risk of severe postoperative inflammation can be diminished by gentle manipulation during surgery and the meticulous removal of all inflammatory material of the anterior chamber. The aggressive control of postoperative inflammation is also essential for the prevention of synechiae formation. Usually the uveitis is solved with the aid of cicloplegic and corticosteroid drugs, but the latter should be used with caution in fungal and *Acanthamoeba* keratitis.
