Corneal infections cause by micro-organisms are the most serious complications of wearing contact lenses. The paper presents the first case of contact lens-associated keratitis caused by the protozoon Acanthamoeba sp. identified in Slovenia so far. The identification of Acanthamoeba as a cause of keratitis in a soft contact lens wearer alerted us to the fact that this health issue should be given more attention in the future.
微生物引起的角膜感染是佩戴隐形眼镜最严重的并发症。本文介绍了斯洛文尼亚迄今为止确诊的首例由原生动物棘阿米巴属引起的与隐形眼镜相关的角膜炎病例。在一名软性隐形眼镜佩戴者中鉴定出棘阿米巴为角膜炎病因，这提醒我们，今后应更加关注这一健康问题。
