Abstract

Currently, the primary treatments for fungal keratitis (FK) are drugs and surgery. However, drug treatment has low efficacy and many side effects, and surgical treatment is costly. Therefore, it is critical to develop a new method of FK treatment. This report describes a 56-year-old male patient with FK who was treated with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine with noticeable results and few side effects.
