Acanthamoeba keratitis is a severe corneal infection having a main risk factor the inappropriate use of contact lenses. Species of the genus Acanthamoeba spp. can adhere to the surface of a wide variety of lenses. However, there are no reports on the adherence of these amoebae to the surface of scleral contact lenses although cases of keratitis associated with these lenses have been reported. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the adherence of different isolates of Acanthamoeba spp. to the surface of scleral lenses, investigating whether the lens design and virulence profiles of the isolates could influence this adhesion. The study included three isolates of Acanthamoeba spp.: A. polyphaga (ATCC CDC: V062), A. polyphaga (ATCC 30461), and...
