Fungal growth was detected in two aphakic hydrophilic contact lenses. Aspergillus species was cultured from the extended-wear contact lens and Dermatophilus congolensis was identified by specific antibody staining of the daily-wear contact lens. As in the 16 previously described cases of fungal contact lens growth, our patients had no evidence of ocular infection but did experience irritation which cleared up when contact lens wear was discontinued. Although only a small percentage of contact lenses are prescribed because of aphakia, these thicker contact lenses may be more susceptible to fungal growth and should be monitored carefully.
在两枚无晶状体亲水隐形眼镜中检测到真菌生长。从长戴型隐形眼镜中培养出曲霉菌种，通过对日戴型隐形眼镜进行特异性抗体染色鉴定出刚果嗜皮菌。与之前描述的16例隐形眼镜真菌生长病例一样，我们的患者没有眼部感染的证据，但确实经历了刺激，在停止佩戴隐形眼镜后刺激症状消失。尽管因无晶状体而配戴的隐形眼镜只占很小的比例，但这些较厚的隐形眼镜可能更容易发生真菌生长，应予以仔细监测。
