Keratitis Causing Micro-Organisms Isolated from Ophthalmic Contact Lens Solutions

This study aimed to determine the disinfecting potential of some contact lens solution used by the students of Jinnah University for Women. We investigated the possible contaminating rate and identified microbial contamination. 25 samples were collected in this study. Were used Multipurpose disinfecting solutions with protein remover of different companies. We have isolated 43 strains among which 20 were Gram positive and 23 were Gram negative. S.aureus, Pseudomonas Serratia was most common organisms isolated i.e. 26%, 16% & 14% respectively.
