Abstract
In the ocular microbiota there are bacteria of the genera
Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium spp., Bacillus spp., Neisseria spp., Moraxella spp. And
Streptococcus spp (1). However, it has been described that the composition of the
communities fluctuates according to factors such as temperature, age, sex, environmental
exposure and exposure to foreign bodies (1,2). Aspects such as prolonged use, the lack of
asepsis of both the contact lens and the case where they are deposited, and the state of the
cleaning fluids have been identified. These aspects lead to the identification of the use of
contact lenses as a factor of risk for the development of eye disorders (1,2). Objective: To
determine the influence of the use of contact lenses on the human ocular bacterial
microbiota. Methodology: bibliographic review, ocular surface, cornea and contact lenses.
A search of published articles of the last 10 years was carried out; taking into account the
inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: the bacteria with the highest frequency in the
normal ocular microbiota were identified, which were Staphylococcus, Streptococcus,
bacillus, and those with the highest frequency in contact lenses were: Staphylococcus
aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Klepsiella pneumonide and Citrobacter diversus.
Conclution:
