What is Microbial Keratitis?
Microbial Keratitis, “MK” (or corneal infection) is a very rare but serious complication affecting around 5 in 10,000 contact lens wearers each year. Microbial Keratitis is a bacterial infection of the front surface of the eye (the cornea), which can lead to vision loss or blindness. Microbial Keratitis or corneal infections are associated with pain, which usually develops rapidly, and severe redness.
