EYE-RUBBING AND CONTACT LENSES

Abstract

SIRs,-In 1947 I first noticed a patient, a severe case of keratoconus, indulging in very vigorous eye-rubbing and from that time I have had this in mind. In 1956 (Brit. J. Ophthal., 40, 295), I summarized my experience of 92 cases of keratoconus, but omitted any reference to eye-rubbing as I was not then sure of its significance.
