چکیده
COMMUnIty EyE HEaLtH JOURnaL | VOL 22 ISSUE 71 | DECEMBER 2009 This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to taking a corneal scrape and making a diagnosis. However, there are settings in which there are either limited or no laboratory facilities available to the ophthalmologist; for example, at primary level eye care centres in rural locations. In these circumstances, microscopy may still provide valuable information to guide the clinician in their choice of treatment (Figures 5–11 are images of infected corneal tissue as seen by microscopy).
