Scanning Electron Microscopy Findings With Energy-Dispersive X-ray Investigations of Cosmetically Tinted Contact Lenses.

Therefore, we may see an increasing trend in corneal disorders related to the unregulated use of Cos-CLs. 1 – 5 Lens materials and surfaces play an important role in the adherence of bacteria to the lens surface 6 – 9 and are also believed to influence the manifestation of microbial keratitis related to contact lens (CL) wear. 7 – 9 Given the potential role of Cos-CLs in microbial infections, a better understanding of the nature of the tinted surfaces in such lenses is desirable.
