There was less fungus reproduction and a lower keratitis score for Fusarium solani and Candida albicans in the treatment groups compared to the control groups, especially in groups that used PACK-CXL. These results suggest that it is useful to combine PACK-CXL treatment with medical treatment in the fungal keratitis algorithm at the early stage of the disease.
