“…8,9 It was the pattern of contact lens wear (overnight vs. daily) rather than the type of contact lens (disposable vs. nondisposable) that appeared to be the overriding risk factor for microbial keratitis. 8,9,[221][222][223][224][225] Despite the increased risk of microbial keratitis associated with overnight wear, there are contact lenses approved by the FDA for extended (including overnight) wear. Generally, Pseudomonas remains the most commonly isolated organism in microbial keratitis associated with contact lens use.…”

“…Morrison 2 surveyed 1000 consecutive lens wearers in 1972 and Hewett 3,4 surveyed 497 soft lens wearers and 335 rigid lens wearers in 1984. Other more limited surveys have been conducted on specific types of contact lenses, such as disposable extended-wear 5 and gas permeable toric 6 lenses.…”

“…7,8 Occurrences of sterile corneal infiltrates shortly after fitting a tight or a low-water content BCL have been attributed to acute hypoxia and induced inflammatory reaction. 9 The BCL used on the steep KC cornea in Case 3 does not represent a tight fitting. However, the combination of BCL and ofloxacin ointment beneath it (used to establish an antibacterial environment to the cornea denuded from its epithelium) may represent a diffusion barrier for oxygen and is therefore no longer recommended.…”

Introduction:3 cases of atypical sterile opacifications during the early-postoperative phase after corneal crosslinking (CXL) have been described.Patient and Clinical Findings:On a routine follow-up 4 days after CXL, sterile anterior stromal opacifications were observed on slitlamp examination of patients with keratoconus (KC). Their presentations ranged from a crescentic opacification located at the margin of the irradiation zone at a depth of 270 μm (Case 1) to a peripheral well-delineated, disc-shaped opacification (Case 2) to disseminated multifocal infiltrates (Case 3). All reported eyes had completely healed epithelium with the onset of opacifications, more than 24 hours after CXL. After an interval of 6 months, only minor changes on slitlamp biomicroscopy were observed in each case, and optical coherence tomography was suggestive of a scar formation.Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcome:The occurrence of these sterile infiltrates in KC eyes with thinnest pachymetry superior to 400 μm and their shape, location, and depth were remarkable. These infiltrates were labeled as atypical because they failed to respond to topical steroids and resulted in scar formation.Conclusions:A collection of atypical sterile anterior stromal infiltrates originating from the very early-postoperative course after accelerated or customized CXL have been reported.
