Surgical Management of Intractable Fungal Keratitis and Corneal Perforation

Clinical Scenario

Fungal keratitis that does not respond to medical therapy, or that presents with microperforation, impending perforation, or frank corneal perforation, requires surgical intervention. This protocol covers the structured approach to those situations.

Treatment Approach (Overview)

Management involves tissue-sealing techniques for perforating or impending-perforation presentations, alongside corneal surgical procedures reserved for intractable disease. The choice of intervention is guided by the depth and extent of involvement.

The full structured protocol specifies the complete indications, procedure selection criteria, and step-by-step approach — accessible via the button below.
