| description | Abstract We report a case of severe Phoma sp. corneal infection in a middle-aged, otherwise healthy, female patient who was using a soft contact lens. This is the first time that such an infection has been reported in Greece.

Management steps included corneal grafting, vitrectomy, and intravitreal antibiotics. |
