ABSTRACT
We have experienced the corneal complications of contact lens wearer in 102 eyes from March 1986 to Nov. 1988. Among the corneal complications, the corneal erosion and abrasion occupied the most part of them(65.7%). Punctate keratitis and corneal ulcer were noted in 22 eyes(21.5%) and 12 eyes (11.8%), respectively. The causes of corneal lesion were foreign body or scratching of contact lens(17.6%), sleeping while wearing contact lens(23.1%), poor fitting(l3.8%), extended wearing(30.4%) and unknown(17.6%). It was interesting that 45.3% of the corneal lesions occurred on Saturday and Sunday. This is probably due to extended wearing or sleeping while wearing contact lens on the weekend.
