| pubmed-article:7731652 | pubmed:abstractText | Acanthamoeba-associated keratitis occurs most often in contact lens wearers. The contact lens material may affect its ability to act as a mechanical vector, permitting transfer of viable amoebae from the storage case to the corneal surface. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ionicity and water content on the comparative quantitative adherence of Acanthamoeba trophozoites and cysts to new, unworn hydrogel contact lenses and rigid gas-permeable contact lens materials. | lld:pubmed |
