Contact lens-related microbial keratitis: how have epidemiology and genetics helped us with pathogenesis and prophylaxis.

Eye (London, England) - 1 Feb 2012

Stapleton F, Carnt N

Abstract excerpt

Contact lens wear is a common predisposing factor in microbial keratitis and is one of the two preventable risk factors for corneal infection in a working age population. Our understanding of the prevention and prophylaxis of contact lens-related corneal infection is informed by recent epidemiological studies describing the incidence of and risk factors for the disease, the effect of causative organism on disease...
