Abstract
This hospital based, cross sectional, prospective study was conducted in the department of ophthalmology of a tertiary care hospital to study the prevalence, treatment, and complications of mycotic keratitis and also to find out the contributing and predisposing factors for its occurrence. In this study we have also made an attempt to identify the causative fungi; although not always a preventable disease, early diagnosis and institution of appropriate treatment by community health workers or ophthalmologists can help to minimise the extreme consequences of mycotic keratitis. Timely clinical suspicion, judicious use of laboratory diagnostic procedures and prompt treatment can significantly reduce the blinding complications of fungal corneal involvement.
