Three soft contact lenses of the HEMA type, discarded because of irritation of the cornea, were processed for and subsequently examined with the SEM, A large portion of the convex surface was covered with globular deposits of fungal spores. Cross-fractures of lenses showed penetration of the fungi into the matrix material of the lenses. The concave surface of the contact lenses showed at two points imprints of the epithelial cells of the cornea in the deposited material on that side of the lenses.
三副因角膜刺激而被丢弃的甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯（HEMA）型软性隐形眼镜，经过处理后随后用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）进行了检查。大部分凸面覆盖着真菌孢子的球状沉积物。镜片的交叉断裂显示真菌已侵入镜片的基质材料。隐形眼镜的凹面在镜片该侧沉积材料中的两个点处显示出角膜上皮细胞的印记。
