Fungal keratitis is an important cause of corneal blindness in China, accounting for 45% of infectious keratitis. The main pathogenic bacteria include yeast, filamentous bacteria and nearly 100 kinds of fungi, which are difficult to diagnose, difficult to treat and poor prognosis. When the infected fungal strains have strong virulence and poor drug sensitivity, it is easy to prolong the disease. Once the fungal infection involves the whole limbus and reaches the whole layer of the cornea, it will be followed by intraocular tissue infection such as anterior chamber, lens and vitreous body. When the infection is difficult to control and the visual function is seriously damaged, the enucleation of eye contents has to be performed, which causes irreversible harm to the patientกฏs appearance and physical and mental health. Therefore, in order to gain greater hope for the vision of patients with fungal keratitis, In recent years, with the continuous progress of clinical medicine and microbiological diagnostics, the treatment methods of fungal keratitis have been constantly updated. This article will briefly review the new progress in drug and surgical treatment of fungal keratitis in recent years to provide patients with better visual prognosis.
