摘要: Purpose To report an infectious complication of overnight rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Methods Case and medical literature review. Results A 16-year-old girl developed laboratory-confirmed acanthamoebic keratitis during orthokeratology for myopic reduction. Recent case reports suggest that Acanthamoeba is a cause microbial associated with lenses among teenagers young adults undergoing orthokeratology. Conclusions emerging in myopes.
