Abstract
Inflammatory corneal complications associated with contact lens (CL) wear range from self limiting sterile corneal infiltrative conditions such as infiltrative keratitis (IK), and contact lens-induced acute red eye (CLARE) to severe sight threatening microbial keratitis [1-3]. In practice, managing complications associated with CL wear has been a challenge to practitioners, especially in diagnosing and treating cases such as early microbial keratitis [1]. In addition, selflimiting conditions such as CLARE and IK can cause temporary discomfort to the wearer, and may lead to the discontinuation of CL wear.
