Abstract:
Microbial keratitis is frequently encountered condition in otherwise healthy individuals using contact lenses. Hygiene factors and usage of inappropriate cleansing solutions are the leading causes of contact lens related microbial keratitis in healthy population. The aim of this paper is to review the risk factors predisposing to this condition, most common causative agents and their pat­hologic mechanisms, diagnostic methods and treatment options.

Abstract:
Background: In microbial keratitis, infection of the cornea can threaten vision through permanent corneal scarring and even perforation resulting in the loss of the eye. A literature review was conducted by Karsten, Watson and Foster (2012) to determine the spectrum of microbial keratitis. Since this publication, there have been over 2600 articles published investigating the causative pathogens of microbial keratitis. Objective: To determine the current spectrum of possible pathogens implicated in microbial keratitis relative to the 2012 study. Methods: An exhaustive literature review was cond

This thesis describes the impact of contact lens-related microbial keratitis in terms of incidence and severity. Disease outcome is defined by visual outcome, costs to the healthcare system, costs to the individual and duration of disease. A successful 12-month surveillance study was conducted of the populations of Australia and New Zealand to detect all cases of contact lens-related microbial keratitis. A random telephone survey of 32,000 households in Australia and 7,500 in New Zealand accurately determined the level of use of various contact lenses in the community. The impact of new c

Microbial keratitis (MK) is an infection of the cornea caused a variety of pathogens that can lead to significant visual loss. The current diagnosis relies on clinical examination and microbiological testing. New in-vivo imaging techniques are now available that can assist the diagnosis and follow the clinical course of this disease. Using optical coherence tomography (OCT) it is possible to obtain high resolution imaging for the cornea. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate a link between the latest OCT technology and clinical outcomes by using a severity index scoring tool. A pr

Abstract:
Microbial keratitis is the most serious, and only potentially blinding complication of contact lens wear. To further understand and reduce the risk of this disease, incidence rates and risk factors have been estimated in numerous studies. Since these studies were conducted, new lens types have been introduced designed to reduce the risk of infection. It was hypothesised that the issues of contact lens related hypoxia and poor lens hygiene could be addressed by the introduction of silicone hydrogel and daily disposable lenses respectively.

Abstract:
Microbial keratitis (MK) is a leading cause of blindness in the developing world. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is the most common pathogen isolated from contact lens related MK, and is usually associated with significant visual complications. The intact corneal epithelium forms a strong barrier to bacterial penetration into deeper tissue, and only when bacteria reach the stroma, through a breach in the epithelium, does a typical ulcer develop, with stromal suppuration and necrosis. Since corneal fibroblasts are one of the most prominent cellular components in the stroma, they probably have an i

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] The cornea plays a major role in the refraction of light and thus the maintenance of its transparency is critical for optimal vision. Infection or trauma can initiate a host inflammatory response, which can cause edema of the collagenous stroma. This tissue edema compromises vision by disrupting the regular arrangement of the corneal stromal lamellae, whose organization is critical to its refractive properties. Until recently, it was the accepted dogma that the cornea was an immune privileged tissue owing in part to its avascular nature and paucity of resident macrophages
