Keratitis is a rare but important and possibly sight threatening complication of Contact Lens wearing. Despite of the number of only about 1.7 keratitis cases per ophthalmolgist per year, this serious side effect needs knowledge and special diagnosis and treatment. Global changes of infectious agents and increase of previously unsuspicious pathogens in combination with a high degress of non-compliance indicate that Contact Lens wearing must be accompanied careful ophthalmologist's medical care and after-care.
Contact lens fitting for presbyotic patients needs more than simple fitting shill; patients need additional psychological support. The wearer has to accept optical quality reduction due to the multifocality of the lens design. In general, the technical fitting of presbyotic contact lenses is comparable to monofocal systems. They work with the same rules of performance. The difference lies in the principles of correction by the lens itself. Simple presbyotic systems use uncorrected optical aberration to widen depth perception. These lenses are suitable for young presbyopes, up to a need of 1 diopter plus power for near vision. Uncorrected aspherical designs have a multifocal effect which can be used for presbyotic lenses. There are contact lenses on the market with simultaneous imaging, which is based on concentric rings around the near or distance centre. Another principles are based on segmented reading portions in the lower part of the lens, also called alternating systems. These very few design variations are the basis for the various specific models which are sold on the market today. The results of the fitting can never be foreseen as subjective and psychological aspects of the wearer overlay the objective results. Thus, the fitter needs experience and patient understanding, combined with fundamental knowledge of the specific lens type used.
The microbiological examination of soft contact lens storage solutions of 55 keratitis patients confirmed that the microbes responsible were to be found in the fluid, in addition to environmental contaminants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
