“…Filamentary keratitis is a chronic, recurrent disorder of the cornea (and rarely the conjunctiva) characterised by the presence of fine strands of degenerated epithelial cells and mucous attached at one or both ends to the ocular surface [312][313][314]. Filamentary keratitis is frequently observed in severe diseases of the ocular surface including aqueous deficient dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, viral keratitis, exposure keratitis, post ocular surgery or trauma, and in association with autoimmune diseases [313]. Filamentary keratitis often does not respond well to conventional lubricant therapy [315].…”

The medical use of contact lenses is a solution for many complex ocular conditions, including high refractive error, irregular astigmatism, primary and secondary corneal ectasia, disfiguring disease, and ocular surface disease. The development of highly oxygen permeable soft and rigid materials has extended the suitability of contact lenses for such applications. There is consistent evidence that bandage soft contact lenses, particularly silicone hydrogel lenses, improve epithelial healing and reduce pain in persistent epithelial defects, after trauma or surgery, and in corneal dystrophies. Drug delivery applications of contact lens hold promise for improving topical therapy. Modern scleral lens practice has achieved great success for both visual rehabilitation and therapeutic applications, including those requiring retention of a tear reservoir or protection from an adverse environment. This report offers a practical and relevant summary of the current evidence for the medical use of contact lenses for all eye care professionals including optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and orthoptists. Topics covered include indications for use in both acute and chronic conditions, lens selection, patient selection, wear and care regimens, and recommended aftercare schedules. Prevention, presentation, and management of complications of medical use are reviewed.

“…This ocular disorder is prevalent in females and elderly individuals [2]. In addition to dry eye disease, FK is associated with numerous conditions, including immunologic diseases, allergic conjunctivitis, recurrent epithelial erosion, chronic blepharospasm, ocular surgery, trauma, chemical injury, viral keratitis, and specific systemic medications such as diphenhydramine [3,4]. Accurate treatment of FK is often ambiguous because the underlying condition must be cured first to avoid frequent recurrence in chronic filamentary keratitis [5].…”
