Summary
The study is a randomised control trial to assess the visual and clinical outcomes of
collagen cross linking in fungal keratitis. Fungal keratitis is a major cause of corneal
blindness in India and the therapeutic options available are minimal to handle the advanced
complications and sequalae caused by the disease.The antimicrobial and tissue remodeling role
of corneal cross linking was demonstrated by several studies earlier,we anted to specifically
assess the role of corneal cross linking in non resolving fungal keratitis in prevention of
perforation and enhancement of healing process.
