Case of the week: Fungal Keratitis
Fungal Keratitis is a fungal infection of the cornea. They are often times misdiagnosed as bacterial infections until they continue to get worse with antibiotic treatment. These infections are rare, but we have seen a handful over the last several years. Contact lens wearers are much more at risk, as well as patients who scratch their eye on vegetative matter like a tree branch or something in the garden. Always see an eye doctor if you have a red/painful eye!
