영문 초록

Purpose: To report 2 cases of corneal melting and corneal melting with descemetocele that occurred in users of cosmetic contact lenses. Case summary: A-12-year-old and a 13-year-old female who used cosmetic contact lenses were referred to our clinic under the preliminary diagnosis of keratitis and corneal melting. The patients had purchased the lenses from an optician and had worn the lenses for approximately 1 month without being educated on their proper use. The signs and symptoms improved after 2 weeks of treatment with oral steroid and 1% topical prednisolone acetate. However, descemetocele occurred in the 12-year-old patient. Reepithelization of the cornea had been completed within the treatment period. However, corneal thinning with mild opacity remained in the lesions, and the best corrected visual acuities on the Snellen chart were 20/30 in both patients.
