Abstract
Hyphal growth patterns in corneas differ not only in the same fungal genus but also in the same species. The fungal recurrence rate after LK in patients with hyphae growing horizontally is much lower than that in those with hyphae growing vertically. Growth patterns of fungal pathogens may be an important factor for fungal recurrence after LK.
