Retrospective Review of Fungal Keratitis at Two Tertiary Hospitals in Perth, Western Australia Between 2006 and 2022
Results were largely consistent with previous studies in the Australian context. Fusarium species and Candida albicans were the most common pathogens isolated. Prior topical corticosteroid use was the most common predisposing risk factor, followed closely by contact lens wear and ocular surface disease. A large proportion of patients experienced corneal perforations and required penetrating keratoplasty.
