Eye injection tested to fight dangerous fungus

NCT ID NCT02731638

Summary

This study tested if adding an antifungal injection directly into the eye works better than using medicated eye drops alone to treat severe fungal eye ulcers. About 70 patients in India were randomly assigned to receive either the injection plus drops or just the drops. The main goal was to see which treatment cleared the fungal infection faster and led to better vision and less scarring over three months.
