Abstract
The effect of soft contact lens on the limbal stem cells was assessed in 30 contact lens wearers, 19 controls, and 17 cases known to cause limbal stem cell deficiency. Different results were seen as compared to controls in all the four quadrants, but more severe in cases known to cause limbal stem cell deficiency.
