Ocular Surface Microbiota in Contact Lens Users and Contact-Lens-Associated Bacterial Keratitis

3 Jun 2021

Abstract excerpt

Our objectives were to investigate whether the conjunctival microbiota is altered by contact lens wear and/or bacterial keratitis and to explore the hypothesis that commensals of conjunctival microbiota contribute to bacterial keratitis. Swab samples from both eyes were collected separately from the inferior fornix of the conjunctiva of non-contact-lens users (nparticipants = 28) and contact lens users...
