Fungal ulcer%Non healing epithelial defect%Matrix regeneration therapy
Corneal ulcers, especially of fungal origin, are a relatively common clinical entity within the spectrum of keratitis in tropical countries. The persistence of a non-healing epithelial defect is a known complication of these ulcers. Despite advances in medical therapy, the management of this condition is still challenging. CACICOL20? is a new ophthalmic matrix therapy that has been proved efficient as a corneal healing agent. To the best of our knowledge there have been reports of the limited use of matrix therapy in ocular healing, specifically in fungal keratitis. We report 2 cases of the efficacy of it as an adjuvant to topical amphotericin B in treating non-healing epithelial defects secondary to fungal corneal ulcers.
