چکیده
Early diagnosis offungal keratitis is difficult, and it has been generally associated with poor visual prognosis. We treated a man who had keratomycosis with corneal perforation and lens prolapse caused by Paecilomyces sp, which rarely causes ocular infection. The patient was given antifungal agents, a temporary conjunctival flap, and penetrating keratoplasty. His visual outcome was successful.
