Corneal Calamities

  • Dr Roy Jobson

Abstract

In this edition of SA Family Practice we take a brief detour around the cornea. I was inspired to do so by my colleague, Dr George Muntingh who described to me a patient similar to Numdi. I realised I had not heard of, nor even considered the possibility of a 'contact lens-drug interaction'. It is now part of my armamentarium of 'therapeutic red flags' - and one of the objectives of this edition's CPD is to alert you to do this possibility, should you not already have been aware of it.
