Fungus infiltration within hydrophilic lenses has been a rare finding. This case report confirms previous findings that fungal contamination of hydrophilic contact lens is possible. The present report, to our knowledge, is the first demonstration of the association of fungus from contaminated cosmetics with hydrophilic contact lenses. It is important to be aware of the possibility of fungal invasion of hydrophilic lenses, as well as to be able to differentiate this from the more common harmless spot formation. On the basis of this study, good lid hygiene, strict adherence to the sterilization procedure, and discontinuance of any soft hydrophilic contact lenses with spot formation seems appropriate.
亲水性镜片内的真菌浸润一直是罕见的发现。本病例报告证实了先前的发现，即亲水性隐形眼镜有可能被真菌污染。据我们所知，本报告首次证明了受污染化妆品中的真菌与亲水性隐形眼镜之间的关联。认识到亲水性镜片有被真菌侵入的可能性，并能够将其与更常见的无害斑点形成区分开来很重要。基于本研究，保持良好的眼睑卫生、严格遵守消毒程序以及停用任何有斑点形成的软性亲水性隐形眼镜似乎是合适的。
