Section 1: Background
Context and rationale for research priorities
Lens handling intensifies the incidence of lens contamination. When lens are aseptically removed from the eye, they still have a high probability of harboring microorganisms. During storage, the frequency of positive microbial bioburden remains high than 50%. The presence or movement of microorganisms from the lens to the ocular surface is a route factor for contact lenses related microbial keratitis and inflammation. There is need to priotise research in this area because the results of the studies help people to understand the factors concomitant to infectious and inflammatory complications. When ...
