Ulcerative keratitis in a person wearing daily disposable contact lenses.

Ulcerative keratitis in a person wearing daily disposable contact lenses EDITOR,-Daily disposable contact lenses were introduced in the UK in February by Vistakon. The lens, consisting of the polymer etafilcon A, is manufactured by a stabilised soft moulding method in a sterile manner within its own packaging. The sterile lens is inserted in the morning and discarded at the end of the day's wear. Premarket studies have suggested improved acuity, comfort, and patient satisfaction compared with conven- tional daily wear soft lenses.'
