Abstract
The systematic performance of microbiological investigations is a good diagnostic approach given the polymorphism of clinical presentations of corneal ulcers, which can sometimes be extremely misleading. Culture of contact lens cases appears ineffective for the detection and determination of the causative microorganism. The high incidence of Staphylococcus in bacterial keratitis and the prevalence of infections with gram-positive bacteria in contact lens wearers were noted.
