A prospective clinical trial of topical fluconazole solution (2 mg/ml) was undertaken in six consecutive eyes of microbiologically proven Candida keratitis with abscess formation. All eyes responded well to the medical therapy. Average duration required for healing was 22.6 +/- 2.3 days. The findings of our study suggest that topical fluconazole is a safe and effective antifungal drug for the management of Candida keratitis with deep abscess.

Objective: The preparation of safranal-containing invasomes for fluconazole (FLU-IN) is investigated in the current research work to augment FLU permeation, bioavailability, and solubility nail for transungual delivery.
Methods: FLU-IN was prepared utilizing the 'thin-film hydration process', and for optimization, 'Box-Behnken design (BBD)' was employed. Entrapment efficiency (EE), Poly-dispersity index (PDI), FLU release, vesicle size and zeta potential were used to characterize FLU-INopt.
