The paper presents the particularities and the protocol of RGP fitting, outlining the contribution of the corneal topography in the ocular pre and post-operative evaluation.

Fungal keratitis is one of the most difficult corneal infections to be properly diagnosed and treated. ⋯ Clinical suspicion of fungal keratitis is essential to diagnosis, but once the diagnosis is made, the treatment remains difficult. Direct microscopic examination of corneal tissues using specific stains is a very useful and inexpensive method of diagnosis, being conclusive in 80% of cases.
