    Author: Munneke R, Lash SC, Prendiville C.
    Journal: Eye Contact Lens; 2006 Mar; 32(2):94-5. PubMed ID: 16538131.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case that suggests that factors associated with daily disposable contact lenses contribute to the risk of developing infectious keratitis. METHODS: A case of a culture-positive Pseudomonas corneal ulcer in a compliant daily disposable contact lens wearer is presented. RESULTS: The case involves a 35-year-old woman with a culture-positive Pseudomonas corneal ulcer that was treated successfully with topical antibiotics. The patient wore daily disposable contact lenses on a part-time basis and was fully compliant with the instructions for use. CONCLUSIONS: Compliance and wearing time were not causal in this episode of infectious keratitis, but factors related to the lens might have been.
