Abstract
RODRIGUEZ RIVERO, Darlen et al. Corneal ulcers in contact lens wearers. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.2, pp. 220-227. ISSN 1561-3070.
The use of contact lenses has increased worldwide. Their current uses comprise optical correction as well as therapeutic purposes since they bring comfortableness and esthetics in a number of ocular diseases. It is expected that contact lenses-related complications will grow because bacterial keratitis is potentially severe and devastating for the eyeball. A literature review on the presence of corneal ulcers in contact lens wearers was made to describe the epidemiology and the ways of preventing this complication.
Keywords : corneal ulcers; contact lenses; corneal complications.
