最近关于软性角膜接触透镜配戴者的细菌性角膜溃疡的报告促使对一种可能的污染源进行评价，即对镜片进行不充分的家庭消毒。29名患者被要求来做清晨检查。他们被告知不要配戴镜片，以便观察他们通常的家庭消毒程序。到达后，对先前未开封的病例中的溶液进行了广泛的细菌和真菌培养。29例患者中有10例（34.5%）有污染病例。一些患者没有遵循制造商的消毒指南。目前的消毒程序已多次在实验室中被证明是足够的。然而，实际情况是，相当大比例（本研究中为34.5%）的软性透镜配戴者对其镜片消毒不充分。这是导致细菌性角膜溃疡的可能污染源。
Recent reports of bacterial corneal ulcers in cosmetic soft contact lens wearers prompted an evaluation of one possible source of contamination, inadequate home disinfection of the lenses. Twenty-nine patients were asked to come for an early morning examination. They were told not to wear their lenses so their usual home disinfection procedure could be observed. On arrival, extensive bacterial and fungal cultures were taken of the solution in the previously unopened cases. Ten of the 29 patients (34.5%) had contaminated cases. Some patients did not follow the manufacturer's disinfection guidelines. The current disinfection procedure has repeatedly proven adequate in the laboratory. However, the practical fact is that a substantial percentage (34.5% in this study) of soft lens wearers are inadequately disinfecting their lenses. This serves as a possible source of contamination leading to bacterial corneal ulcers.
