Cross-Linking Pack Plus Plasma in the Mycotic Corneal Ulcer Case Report.

Fungal keratitis is a complication of refractive surgery that, if not treated in time, can lead to blindness. Given the lack of effective topical treatments for fungal ulcers, surgical treatment is necessary. The least invasive procedure is a cross-linking pack, although it has limitations when the fungus has penetrated the deep layers of the cornea.
