ketamine and Keratoconjunctivitis

ketamine has been researched along with Keratoconjunctivitis in 1 studies

Ketamine: A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors.
ketamine : A member of the class of cyclohexanones in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 2-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a methylamino group.

Keratoconjunctivitis: Simultaneous inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva.
