Abstract
Bacterial contamination of corneal contact lenses is a recognized hazard to their use. The problem of storage of lenses has received much attention, but there is still a controversy as to whether a dry case or a wet case is the safer method of storage. Fifty contact lens patients, using three different types of storage cases, each for a period of two months, were studied. Bacterial cultures were taken of the storage cases and of the patients' eyes. The wet storage case, containing a soaking solution, showed significantly less contamination than did the dry cases.
