Background : Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a viral conjunctivitis caused by a group of adenoviruses.

Corneal subepithelial opacities were detected in 76(50.6 %) patients, while 10(6.6 %) patients developed conjunctival scarring, and only one (0.6 %) developed conjunctival cyst.
Data from the second group showed that 120(80 %) patients recovered without complications, while 30(20 %) patients developed subepithelial opacities and no one(0 %) develop conjunctival scarring or conjunctival Conclusion : Use of fluorometholone eye drop in treatment of EKC : Alleviate the patient’s symptoms, decrease the course of the disease and decrease the occurrence of subepithelial opacities.
