Nummular keratitis is an inflammatory process of the cornea that is characterised by multiple sub-epithelial deposits, for which a variety of therapeutic approaches have been proposed. A retrospective review was performed using the medical records of patients diagnosed with nummular keratitis and treated with a combined intrastromal injection of ganciclovir and depot betamethasone between the years 2009 and 2017. A total of 21 eyes of 16 patients were finally included. Upon termination of the treatment, 18 eyes (85.71%) were asymptomatic. This improvement was maintained during a mean follow-up time of 22.90 months. Depot betamethasone mixed with ganciclovir by intrastromal application is a good alternative for the treatment of nummular keratitis.
