In addition&#44; we will address study limitations and offer recommendations for future research&#44; with the goal of enriching the knowledge base and optimizing clinical care in the field of contact lens-related corneal infections&#46;</p><p id="par0245" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During the development of this work&#44; several limitations have been identified that require consideration&#46; First&#44; the multicenter nature of the study has introduced the possibility of loss of information&#44; as some initial centers did not respond or participate in the study despite efforts to involve them&#46; In addition&#44; a disparity was observed in the number of cases registered in different regions of Spain such as Madrid&#44; Valencia and Vizcaya&#44; due to the variability in the number of centers contacted in each area&#44; with a particular concentration in Madrid and Vizcaya&#46; This asymmetry in the geographical distribution of cases may influence the results&#46;</p><p id="par0250" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The heterogeneity of the microbiological results and the lack of a standardized sampling protocol made statistical analysis difficult&#46; In addition&#44; the collection of information on resistance through antibiograms was not possible due to the need to keep the questionnaire simple for both patients and physicians&#44; with the aim of obtaining complete data&#46; Some questions in the questionnaire were asked in an unclear manner&#44; especially those related to the frequency of risk practices&#44; which may have led to over- or underestimation of these practices&#46;</p><p id="par0255" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The questionnaire also lacked details on other risk factors and sequelae&#44; as the aim was not to overburden physicians or discourage their participation&#46; The sequelae were grouped according to vision criteria and visual acuity level&#44; which limits the ability to relate visual acuity and cataract&#46; Conducting the study during the pandemic may have limited access to EDs and decreased routine contact lens wear by the general population&#44; as new fittings were reduced&#46; In addition&#44; there was a decrease in contact lens wear during the onset of the pandemic and an increase in the tendency to use disposable lenses&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22&#8211;24</span></a> These limitations highlight the importance of interpreting the results with caution and considering the context in which the study was conducted&#46;</p><p id="par0260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Knowing the approximate population served by each hospital&#44; we have calculated an average incidence of 0&#46;327 cases of infectious keratitis per 10&#44;000 inhabitants per year&#44; i&#46;e&#46;&#44; approximately 1 case per 30&#44;000 inhabitants per year&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> This&#44; considering an 8&#37; population of CLs users in Spain&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26&#44;27</span></a> means 4 cases per 10&#44;000 CLs users per year&#44; which is not far from the figures provided by other studies&#58; the estimated annual incidence of MK in CLs users in the United States is 13&#47;10&#44;000 persons per year&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> but values ranging from 0&#46;36 to 4&#46;2&#47;10&#44;000 CLs users have been described in various studies&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4&#44;5&#44;28&#8211;30</span></a></p><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With a view to future preventive strategies&#44; iIt is important to highlight that the majority of spectacle lens wearers&#44; in all studies&#44; show at least one risk behavior for corneal infection&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9&#44;14</span></a> which is also evident among our patients in Spain&#46; One of the most widely recognized risk behaviors&#44; which has also been reflected in our study&#44; is the extended and nocturnal use of CLs&#44; which significantly increases the risk&#44; according to the literature&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4&#44;28&#44;31</span></a> and with a higher proportion of moderate and severe leukomas in our patients&#46;</p><p id="par0270" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We know that CL MKs do not depend exclusively on compliance with hygienic measures&#44; but also on loss of ocular surface homeostasis&#44; but devoting our efforts in prevention to improving compliance with hygienic measures seems relatively straightforward and affordable&#46;</p><p id="par0275" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the industry that sells CLs is not interested in advertising their potential risks&#44; and opticians may also have a conflict of interest&#44; perhaps it should be the job of the ophthalmic physician to instruct on the proper use of CLs consistently to all their patient users in the practice&#44; even if the reason for consultation is not MK&#46; It should even be raised whether it may be important or necessary to sign an informed consent before initiating the use of CLs&#44; during fitting in opticians&#39; practices&#44; so that patients always have the information available before starting their use&#46;</p><p id="par0280" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">MK of amebic&#44; fungal or polymicrobial origin is complicated to diagnose and has a rapid course&#44; so it is vital to suspect it early in order to start treatment as soon as possible&#46; In all cases of severe MK it is essential to refer the patient to a corneal and anterior segment specialist&#46; It should be taken into account for empirical treatment that when studies refer solely and exclusively to keratitis caused by the use of CLs&#44; the microbiology is inverted&#44; being more common to find a majority of gram-negatives as opposed to gram-positives&#44; as we have been able to reaffirm in our study&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">32</span></a></p><p id="par0285" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is essential to highlight that fourth generation fluoroquinolones&#44; such as moxifloxacin&#44; are less effective against <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Pseudomonas in</span> CLs carriers and are therefore not recommended&#44; given the enormous importance of this microorganism in this context&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0290" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally&#44; for the future&#44; we should investigate microbial resistances and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CLs MK to improve treatments&#46;</p><p id="par0295" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude&#44; we will break down the conclusions obtained in this REGINFECOR study&#44; providing epidemiological information on infectious keratitis associated with contact lens wear in Spain&#46;</p><p id="par0300" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In Spain&#44; infectious keratitis associated with the use of spectacle lenses affects mainly young women and in summer&#46; The most commonly used type of CL is the soft CL&#44; with monthly replacement and cleaning with a single solution&#46; Fitting and purchase are usually carried out in opticians&#39; stores&#46; The presence of risk factors for developing infectious keratitis is common&#44; and most cases have been found to be benign&#46; Nighttime wearing of CLs has been related to a higher incidence of leukomas &#40;moderate or severe&#41;&#46; In microbiology&#44; the gram-negative group stands out&#44; and among them&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</span>&#46; Their presence has led to greater severity in leukomas&#44; as well as the need for corneal transplantation&#46; Negative cultures are frequent&#46; The time to cure the infectious activity is long&#44; which can be a major problem for these patients of working age&#46; Finally&#44; we have estimated an approximate figure of 1 case per 30&#44;000 inhabitants per year of MK due to CLs in Spain&#44; which is not far from other estimates in similar studies &#40;assuming an 8&#37; population of CLs users&#44; this means 4 cases per 10&#44;000 users&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0305" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Early suspicion and initiation of treatment in cases of infectious keratitis caused by amoebae&#44; fungi or polymicrobial cultures is important due to its complicated diagnosis and torpid course&#46; We should think about the importance of educating patients about the risks associated with poor habits of CLs use to prevent avoidable cases&#46;
