TL;DR: Although contemporary contact lenses have not reduced the overall incidence of keratitis, a reduction in morbidity may be achievable through recognition of appropriate risk factors in severe disease, including avoiding delays in presenting for appropriate treatment, and attention to storage case hygiene practise.

TL;DR: Daily wear soft lens wearers should be routinely examined with sodium fluorescein soon after lenses are inserted and alternative solution/lens type combinations should be investigated if toxic staining is detected.

TL;DR: The frequency of adverse events varied with silicone hydrogel contact lens and lens solution combinations, with hydrogen peroxide having the lowest incidence of CIEs and solution-induced corneal staining, indicating that lens material and design, type of solution, and solution of solution-lens interactions are likely contributing factors in this mode of lens wear.

TL;DR: Poor hand hygiene, inadequate lens care, and not remembering when to come back for aftercares are the common non-compliant behaviours in lens wearers.

TL;DR: Different disinfecting solutions used during storage in cases result in different levels of contamination and contamination by different types of microbes, suggesting that other excipients in, or formulation of, the solution affect contact lens storage case contamination.
