Femtosecond Keratectomy for Advanced Fungal Keratitis
Techniques in Ophthalmology, 09/02/09

Etter J et al. – The femtosecond laser was used to create a 6–mm–diameter flap, which was converted to a cap with a thickness of 100 micro m. The cap was then removed, exposing the infected stromal bed. Voriconazole, amphotericin, chlorhexidine, and polyhexamethylene biguanide, 1 drop each, were applied directly to the exposed stromal bed. Antifungal medication was continued while the patient's symptoms improved, visual acuity increased, and the corneal infiltrate became less prominent.
