Association of fungi with extended-wear soft contact lenses.

Abstract

Fungi were isolated from 11 extended-wear soft contact lenses. In two cases, fungi had penetrated through the contact lens and the same fungus was cultured from corneal ulcers. In four cases, fungal growth on and in the soft contact lens matrix was associated with conjunctivitis and punctate fluorescein staining of the corneal epithelium.
