Parasitological and microbiological assessment of contact lens storage cases: a survey of asymptomatic lens student wearers from five medical specialties in Tunisia, North Africa

The behaviors of contact lens wearers observed in this work corroborate those of all studies of contact lens wearers. The complexity of the recommended procedure and poor understanding of the instructions may explain any imperfections. This study highlights a high level of biodiversity in LSCs, and the strains in circulation are almost potentially pathogenic for humans.

Abstract

The behaviors of contact lens wearers observed in this work corroborate those of all studies of contact lens wearers. The complexity of the recommended procedure and poor understanding of the instructions may explain any imperfections. This study highlights a high level of biodiversity in LSCs, and the strains in circulation are almost potentially pathogenic for humans.
