与接触透镜配戴相关的危及视力的微生物角膜炎仍然是患者、眼科护理从业者和接触透镜行业的严重问题。几十年的研究和透镜和溶液技术的一些重大进展并没有导致疾病发病率的下降。在这里,我们提供了一个关于微生物性角膜炎的复杂发病机制的观点,阻止更好地了解这种疾病的因素,以及用于解决这一重要临床问题的新方法。
Sight-threatening microbial keratitis associated with contact lens wear remains a serious concern for patients, eye-care practitioners, and the contact lens industry. Several decades of research and some major advances in lens and solution technology have not resulted in a decline in disease incidence. Here, we offer a perspective on the complex pathogenesis of microbial keratitis, the factors that have prevented a better understanding of this disease, and new approaches being used to tacke this important clinical problem.
