 Fungal keratitis, also known as mycotic keratitis, is a severe sight-threatening condition. This highly damaging corneal infection often leads to permanent blindness and eye loss. Fungal keratitis tends to be a poorly treated condition with very high morbidity. Fungal keratitis occurs secondary to usually minor ocular trauma in most cases. ~ 4% of patients were found in children, although most cases are seen in adults aged 20–50 years. Other reported predisposing factors for filamentous fungal keratitis include previous ocular surgery, ocular surface disease, contact lens use, previous use of corticosteroids (topical or systemic), and immunosuppressive conditions such as HIV/AIDS. Fungal keratitis (FK) often poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. It is most commonly observed in tropical/subtropical countries and regions with prevalent agricultural activity, accounting for 23–63% of all FK cases in these regions. Most of the patients were found to have at least one ...
