Abstract
The human cornea is an avascular, transparent tissue that permits or allows light rays to enter or reach the retina. The cornea is made up of several layers, each of which plays an important role in preserving the transparency and power of cornea. The epithelium, Bowmans layer, Descemet’s membrane and endothelium are the layers of the cornea. This study aimed to discover the incidences of severe and non-severe corneal inflammation amongst wearers of modern technology touch lenses. Studies on touch lens users providing with a corneal ulcer/infiltrates were reported. On the basis of severity, a medical severity matrix was utilized among cases of severe and non-severe corneal inflammation. There was a large distinction in severe corneal infection among ew-hydrogel and ew-silicone hydrogel. When it comes to evaluating touch lens-related corneal inflammation, a medical severity matrix is available in hand. Wearers of contact lenses who sleep with them have a appreciably low risk of severe corneal inflammation than those who simplest put on lenses for the duration of the day. Those cases who everyday sleep with lenses have a 5-fold lower risk of severe corneal inflammation as compared day-to-day hydrogel lenses for prolonged utilization.

CLASSIFICATIONThe human cornea is an avascular, transparent tissue that permits or allows light rays to enter or reach the retina
Instances of microbial corneal irritation have been reported by Poggio et al [17] and Cheng. et al [18] in epidemiological studies depending on the subsequent scientific set of criteria: "a stromal infiltrate of cornea with an overlying abnormalities of epithelium clinically recognized as bacterial(microbial) corneal inflammation and anti - microbial remedy" With the essence, this criterion refers day-to-day clinically severe microbial corneal infection, that's broadly equivalent to the "severe corneal infection"
Considering the advantages of the type of lens in terms of wearer comfort and keeping off damaging effects associated with long term deposit formation, no statistically significant difference was noted on occurrence of severe corneal inflammation amongst daily wearers and wearing disposable lenses as opposed to daily wearers using hydrogel lenses
Summary
The human cornea is an avascular, transparent tissue that permits or allows light rays to enter or reach the retina. Untreated corneal inflammation will lead to corneal ulcer which is defined as any breach or discontinuation in the normal epithelial surface of cornea associated with necrosis of the surrounding tissues. It is characterized by oedema and cellular infiltration. One of the maximum vital everyday of the medical records obtained day-to-day using a clinical severity They were assigned a severity score on a scale of 0 to ten relevant each day, considering the category of corneal infiltrative occasions as mild, moderate, or immoderate. Both these lenses are meant daily be replaced on a monthly basis [12]
