Abstract

We are reporting a case of a 68-year-old male who presented with redness and pain in the right eye with a previous history of pterygium surgery with mitomycin –C in the same eye two weeks prior to onset of symptoms. On examination, visual acuity in right eye was counting fingers at 2 meters improving to 6/24 with pinhole and left eye was 6/18 improving to 6/12 with pinhole. Right eye showed signs of melting in the nasal sclera with avascularity and perilimbal corneal infiltrate. Scraping was done and culture showed growth of Fusarium species. Patient was started on antifungal drops and a scleral patch graft was done with multilayered amniotic membrane graft with fibrin glue and bandage contact lens placement. On followup, patient showed symptomatic improvement with vascularization of scleral graft and vision improved following cataract surgery .
