title: Management of infections associated with soft contact lens.
abstract: This study suggests that there is a higher incidence of infectious corneal ulcers with soft contact lenses than with hard contact lenses. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most commonly identified organism associated with soft contact lens corneal ulcers. Early and aggressive management can improve the prognosis of this disease. A plan of therapy and management is recommended and discussed.
