Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
, 2018 We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates

Evidence on scleral contact lenses and intraocular pressure [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2017 It has been hypothesised that scleral contact lens wear may potentially elevate intraocular pressure (IOP) as a result of post-lens fluid forces exacerbated by eyelid tension, or ocular versions that alter the lens fit and result in corneal bearing or increased conjunctival and scleral tissue compression.
