    <abstract locale="en_US">Amebic keratitis is a rare but serious corneal infection that is occasionally seen in contact lens wearers. In the early stages, the disease may be mistaken for bacterial keratitis due to corneal inflammation and a reduced visual field, which can delay diagnosis and treatment. In this case report, we present a young female who exhibited symptoms of a corneal ulcer associated with contact lens use and was initially treated for bacterial keratitis. Upon further evaluation, the diagnosis of Naegleria amebic keratitis was confirmed.
