متن کاملMixed infection (Pseudomonas and coagulase negative staphylococci) microbial keratitis associated with extended wear silicone hydrogel contact lens.
Contact lens induced ulcerative keratitis is a serious complication which can be devastating for the patient if treatment is delayed. Extended wear is the commonest cause of microbial keratitis in contact lens wear. New extended wear silicone hydrogel contact lenses have higher oxygen transmissibility so that they can be worn continuously for 30 days. They can also be used as bandage contact le...
