Abstract

The prognosis of fungal and acanthamoeba keratitis depends on early diagnosis and treatment. Keratomycosis treatment requires antifungal eye drops such as polyene, triazoles, or echinocandins, whereas acanthamoeba keratitis therapy is based on biguanide and diamidine agents. The aim of this paper is to review the antifungal and antiamoebicide eye drops that are currently available in ophthalmology.
