1Department of Ophthalmology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Dallas, TX 75390-9057, USA.
Purpose:
This case report documents Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection associated with daily wear of a silicone contact lens in a patient who also had bilateral, preexisting biomicroscopic findings of ocular rosacea, seborrheic blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and chronic punctate corneal epitheliopathy.
Conclusions:
Collectively, these problems produce increased risk of infection for wear of any contact lens; and underscore the importance of proper patient selection, education and post-fit monitoring even when hyper-oxygen transmitting silicone hydrogels are utilized.
