It may lead to extreme visual impairment if improperly managed. Based on the newest Globe Vision Report, at the least 4.two million people today worldwide suffer from corneal opacities triggered by infectious agents including fungi, bacteria, protozoa and viruses. In individuals with fungal keratitis (FK), usually overt symptoms usually are not evident, until an advanced stage. Furthermore, it has been reported that clear discrimination between bacterial keratitis and FK is often a challenging course of action even for trained corneal specialists and is usually misdiagnosed in much more than 30 with the instances. Having said that, if diagnosed early, vision impairment might be prevented.
