Severe corneal infections associated with contact lens wear.

Abstract:

:An analysis of acute contact lens-related complications, with particular emphasis on severe microbial keratitis, was undertaken at the Department of Ophthalmology, Sahlgren's Hospital in Gothenburg. A total of 224 contact lens wearers presented with acute complications over a 2-year period (1981-1982). The lowest incidence of acute complications was found with hard contact lens wear. Similar numbers of daily wear and extended wear soft contact lens wearers presented with acute complications. The highest incidence of severe microbial keratitis was found in patients wearing soft contact lenses on an extended-wear basis. Inappropriate topical steroid therapy was implicated as a major factor contributing to the severity of these cases. Less severe sequelae of contact lens-related complications were also over-represented in the extended lens wear group. These findings emphasize the need for a conservative approach to the use of an extended wear regimen with soft contact lenses.
