Among the samples tested, 38 (40%) corneal cultures, 85 (92%) contact lens cultures, and 49 (80%) contact lens case cultures yielded positive results. In the samples for which all microbial investigations were performed and corneal culture was positive, cultures of contact lenses and corneas yielded the same microbes in 94% of cases, and for contact lens case and corneal cultures 77% of cases yielded the same microbes. Importantly, these were monocultures of the same microbe isolated from the cornea in the contact lens and lens case cultures. The odds of having a positive corneal culture was 37 times higher (p = 0.008) when patients presented to the clinic 2 weeks after the onset of symptoms\n                      <jats:italic>.
