Use of in vivo confocal microscopy in suspected Acanthamoeba keratitis: a 12-year real-world data study at a Swedish regional referral center.

Purpose: To report real-world data (RWD) on the use of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) in handling cases of suspected Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) cases at a regional referral center during a 12-year period.

Methods: Retrospective study of patients with suspected AK presenting at a regional referral center for IVCM in Sweden from 2010 to 2022. Demographics, symptoms, outcomes, and clinical management were analyzed, and IVCM images were interpreted.
