Purpose:
To evaluate conjunctival bacterial flora in carrier patients of corneo-schleral prosthesis, both in the affected and fellow eye.
Material And Method:
Samples were obtained from twenty-six corneo-schleral prosthesis carriers and smear from both eyes were cultured. Samples were taken from 24 patients as controls.
Results:
Significant growth of potentially pathogen bacteria was observed in the corneo-schleral prosthesis and fellow eyes compared to controls.
Conclusion:
Conjunctival bacterial flora showed variations in the eyes of controls, corneo-schleral prosthesis and fellow eyes groups.
