Abstract

We present the case of a young male that suffered from fungal corneal abscess and corneal melting. The patient was treated successfully by corneal cross-linking. Taking into account our experience from this case, we offer to consider corneal cross-linking as a therapeutic option in cases of fungal keratitis.
