Graphium eumorphum is rarely associated with mycotic keratitis. We report the case of a 30-year-old female presented with complaints of redness and defective vision in the left eye for one month. Gram staining and 10% KOH wet mount of corneal smears revealed fungal filaments. On potato dextrose agar, fast growing greyish white colonies turning grayish black on maturity was obtained. Lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) staining confirmed the isolate as Graphium eumorphum. The infection was resolved with the combination of natamycin, econazole and itraconazole.
