Fungi are most common cause of severe inflammation of the cornea, resulting in blindness and loss of vision [6]. According to various researchers, fungi are the cause of keratitis in 40-50% of all microbial keratitis cases [1, 3]. Treatment of keratomycosis in the Russian Federation is carried out by methods other than intended. Lack of skills and availability of diagnostics, official etiotropic therapy for use in ophthalmology for ophthalmologists, unequal conditions in the fight against ophthalmomycosis. This is partly due to the lowered level of «myco-alertness», which leads to long-term ineffective «healing» of antibacterial drops, the duration of the patient’s suffering and results in the loss of the eye functionally and — in some cases — anatomically [7]. Global eye removal counts revealed that this method was used in 8-11%, which represents an annual loss of 84,143-115,697 eyes [6]. Key words: keratomycosis, mycotic keratitis, treatment, therapy.
