Results Of the 223 patients recruited, 59 (26%) wore contact lenses. Corneal scrapes yielded positive cultures from 77 patients (35% overall, 56 non-CLW, 21 CLW). The annual incidence of MK was 0.63 per 10 000 population and 3.4 per 10 000 CLW with rates for daily, extended and rigid lens wear of 3.09, 9.30 and 0.44 per 10 000 CLW respectively. Ongoing Research is being done at Keratitis Centers.
