“…The observed graft survival after emergency intervention compares well with those reported in the literature (Thiel 1978;Behrens-Baumann 1984;Weidle & Thiel 1984). The survival rate is similar to that observed with risk patients subjected to planned surgery (Andersen & Ehlers 1986) that is about 50%, which is in accordance with the findings of others (Volker-Dieben et al 1984).…”

“…Treatment directed towards corneal ulcers 516 comprise topical and systemic antibiotics, different techniques of conjunctival plastic surgery, cpntact lenses, tissue adhesives and grafting. Immediate keratoplasty has often been prevented by a lack of suitable donor material, but favourable results have, nevertheless, been published (Thiel 1978;Weidle & Thiel 1984;Behrens-Baumann 1984).…”

In the period 1979-83 a total of 232 penetrating corneal transplantations were performed with organ culture preserved donor material. Forty-two operations were made à chaud for central corneal ulcerations. The results of these interventions are reported and discussed. The surgery presented no serious problems and on first post-operative day the anterior chamber was reformed in all cases, and pain was relieved. Patients were confined to bed only for 1 day. Graft deswelling was slightly retarded compared to planned surgery, but all functioning grafts obtained normal thickness. The overall graft survival rates after 6, 12 and 18 months were 66, 53 and 48%, respectively. For herpetic ulcers the survival after 18 months was 49% and for non-herpetic ulcers 47%. The grafts failed in all cases where it had been necessary to employ grafts of more than 10 mm. This latter group was comprised of the non-herpetic cases; were they excluded, the graft survival rate would increase to 60%. Among cases with a clear graft the median visual acuity after 18 months was 0.33 (range less than 0.1-0.67). Excluding cases with a non-corneal cause of visual reduction, the median visual acuity was 0.4 (range 0.33-0.67). It is concluded that grafting can be successfully employed in the treatment of central ulcers, as it not only restitutes tissue integrity, but also preserves useful vision.

“…In rare instances, a lamellar corneal graft may be indi cated [75], However, in most cases, a penetrating kerato plasty is recommended [76,77], The advantage of a pene trating graft ( fig. 6) includes the elimination of fungi simultaneously with the secondary inflammatory reac tion, which affects both the cornea and the anterior cham ber.…”

This article surveys the current treatment of fungal eye diseases with topical antimycotics. Their various pharmacokinetic characteristics and antimycotic activities are presented and, in addition, the clinical symptoms of fungal eye diseases which can be topically treated are described, so that a correct diagnosis can be achieved rapidly to avoid delaying proper therapy. Finally, guidelines for treatment of keratomycosis are recommended.

Mycotic keratitis is a comparatively rare but serious ophthalmological disease, that can possibly lead to a severe loss of vision up to blindness. Over the last two decades an increase of cases with mycotic keratitis has been noticed, which is possibly caused by an increased use of soft contact lenses. This article gives an overview of the typical clinical signs and symptoms of keratomycosis, tried and tested diagnostics and therapy as well as new diagnostic and therapeutic developments and findings.
