Abstract
A case describes repeat lamellar keratoplasty (LKP) as a treatment for positive rim of Candida glabrata LKP. As have postulated in the literature, having positive rim is a substantial risk factor for a developing fungal keratitis. Different management approaches of fungal keratitis over a corneal graft have used. Herein, we provide a description of the clinical findings, management approach and used surgical technique with review of the literature.
