Multicenter Case-Control Study of the Role of Lens Materials and Care Products on the Development of Corneal Infiltrates

Abstract

In this community-based trial, younger patients were at increased risk of infiltrative events. DD lenses were protective relative to reusable lenses. Overnight use increased risk in all analyses and silicone hydrogels increased risk in daily wearers, regardless of LCP brand. Improvements in lens storage case hygiene and environment may be a mechanism for reducing risk of CIEs related to SCL use.
