Unilateral amiodarone keratopathy: occlusive contact lens spares development in the contralateral eye

Contact lens in unilateral aphakia.

THE problem of uniocular catcaract witlh good visual acuity in the other eye is an old, but by no means a solved, problem. The established views still upheld by many oplhthalmologists, that such a cataract is best left alone, is based on the observation that the optical correction of unilateral aphakia is not satisfactory, a-s diplopia and general discomfort are exl)erienced. Furthermilore, the...

Changes in the Eye Microbiota Associated with Contact Lens Wearing

UNLABELLED Wearing contact lenses has been identified as a risk factor for the development of eye conditions such as giant papillary conjunctivitis and keratitis. We hypothesized that wearing contact lenses is associated with changes in the ocular microbiota. We compared the bacterial communities of the conjunctiva and skin under the eye from 58 subjects and analyzed samples from 20 subjects (9...

Contact Lens Wearer Demographics and Risk Behaviors for Contact Lens-Related Eye Infections — United States, 2014

Contact lenses provide safe and effective vision correction for many Americans. However, contact lens wearers risk infection if they fail to wear, clean, disinfect, and store their contact lenses as directed. Over the past decade, CDC has investigated several multistate outbreaks of serious eye infections among contact lens wearers, including Acanthamoeba keratitis. Each investigation identifie...

Tear film, contact lens, and patient-related factors associated with contact lens-related dry eye.

PURPOSE To examine tear film, contact lens, medical, and patient-related factors associated with self-reported contact lens-related dry eye. METHODS Four hundred fifteen contact lens wearers were recruited and enrolled in this phase of a larger cross-sectional study. A variety of tear film (e.g., interferometry, osmolality, phenol red thread, meibography, fluorescein, and lissamine green stai...
