Pandrug resistant Pseudomonas keratitis is an emerging cause of bacterial keratitis challenging clinicians for prompt and prudent treatment to avoid disaster of loss of eye. We report two cases of pandrug resistant keratitis following penetrating keratitis caused by Pseudomonas spp. It was only after a detailed laboratory characterization of the isolates that revealed their pandrug resistant character and helped in successful management of the condition.
