Contact lens wear is a popular method to improve vision, with millions of users worldwide. While contact lenses are generally safe, complications can occur, and one of the most serious is microbial keratitis. This condition can lead to permanent vision loss if not properly managed. In this study, we aim to investigate the factors contributing to microbial keratitis in contact lens users, with a focus on understanding its incidence and risk factors. By gaining a better understanding of this sight-threatening condition, we can work towards improving the safety of contact lens use and preventing complications. Our findings will be valuable for both contact lens wearers and eye care professionals, enhancing awareness and guiding preventive measures.
