Survey of Ophthalmology, 1998
Acanthamoeba species are an important cause of microbial keratitis that may cause severe ocular inflammation and visual loss. The first cases were recognized in 1973, but the disease remained very rare until the 1980s, when an increase in incidence mainly associated with contact lens wear was reported.

The incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis has decreased significantly, and it is no longer a reportable condition in the United States. Corneal abrasion and contact lenses play an important role in the development of Acanthamoeba keratitis. One of the most important features of the disease is severe pain, which is atypical for herpes simplex.

The immunobiology of Acanthamoeba keratitis
Microbes and Infection, 2006Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoebae that cause Acanthamoeba keratitis, a blinding corneal infection. The innate immune apparatus is crucial for the resolution of the disease. With the exception of mucosal antibody, elements of the adaptive immune system fail to prevent infection or contribute to its resolution in experimental animals.

The pathophysiology of Acanthamoeba keratitis
Trends in Parasitology, 2006Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight-threatening infection of the ocular surface that is produced by several free-living amebae of the genus Acanthamoeba. Infection is usually initiated by Acanthamoeba-contaminated contact lenses and produces exquisite pain and ulceration of the ocular surface.
