Abstract. Purpose:To report the outcome of microscopic examination of smear in corneal infection. Cases:This retrospective study was made on 46 eyes of 44 patients who were admitted for severe corneal infection during the past 24 months. The series comprised 28 male and 18 female eyes,with average age of 49.2±24.7 years. Smears were examined under microscope and/or submitted to culture. Results:Pathogenic organisms were positive in 19 out of 32 eyes(59%)by microscopy and in 26 out of 44 eyes(59%)by culture. In 32 eyes that received both examinations,the findings were positive in 14 eyes and negative in 9 eyes,totaling 23 eyes(72%)by both methods. Fungus was most frequently detected in 7 eyes(22%)by microscopy and bacteria in 11 eyes(34%)by culture. Conclusion:Microscopy and culture of smear are both valuable by compensating each other. Microscopy of smear has the merit of early detection of pathogenic microorganisms.
