Fungal keratitis is a sight-threatening corneal infection that requires prompt, targeted treatment. Accurate diagnosis and early intervention are essential to limit corneal damage and preserve vision.
The primary treatment goal is clinical improvement or stabilisation of the corneal infection, with close follow-up until that endpoint is reached.
Topical antifungal agents form the cornerstone of management. The full protocol specifies which agents to use, how to sequence and taper them, when and how to address concurrent elevated intraocular pressure, and how to manage any co-prescribed corticosteroids — the complete decision algorithm is available in the structured regimen.
