Infuece de la qualité de vie sur la qualité des lentilles de contact

Abstract

Contact lenses can be of great service to their wearer, but they act like a real foreign body that disrupts the normal physiology of the ocular surface by modifying its microbiota and by interacting with the environment, they often bring the germs which are the source of the infection by a contaminated preservative or disinfection solution or even poor hygiene.The wearer’s quality of life determinate the quality of the contact lens, so who says good quality of life, says good quality contact lenses.The principal risk factors that reduce the quality of contact lenses are mainly represented by maintenance and hygiene errors but also by climate and work. These factors affect the contact lens and can lead to infectious and non-infectious complications.Infections related to contact lenses remain a current problem despite new materials and modes of wearing (disposable, daily). The best treatment for a corneal infection associated with contact lenses is preventive treatment.
