Contact lens-related problems are common and can result in severe sight-threatening
complications or contact lens drop out if not addressed properly. We systematically reviewed …

With estimated numbers of contact lens wearers worldwide exceeding 140 million, even
complications with a low incidence will affect a significant number of individuals. Although …

Aim: To determine the incidence of non-severe keratitis (NSK) and severe keratitis (SK)
among wearers of current generation contact lenses. Methods: A 12 month, prospective …

Purpose. Although comfort is important for contact lens wearers, common clinical tests can
fail to predict patients' symptoms. Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) and lid parallel conjunctival …

Tear exchange beneath a contact lens facilitates ongoing fluid replenishment between the
ocular surface and the lens. This exchange is considerably lower during the wear of soft …

purpose. To identify risk factors for the development of corneal infiltrative events (CIEs)
associated with contact lens wear, and to report other relevant clinical characteristics …

Corneal infiltrative events (CIEs) are well established as a risk associated with soft contact
lens wear. The incidence of symptomatic CIEs during extended soft lens wear ranges from …

Purpose.: This study determined which microbiologic, clinical, demographic, and behavioral
factors are associated with corneal infiltrative events (CIEs) during continuous wear of …

Contact lens‐associated microbial keratitis poses a diagnostic dilemma for optometrists on
two fronts. The distinction between sterile inflammation and microbial infection is often …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the two dominant Gram-negative
and-positive species, respectively, isolated from patients with contact lens-related bacterial …
