Vision Loss After Contact Lens-Related Pseudomonas Keratitis. Since the majority of cases of microbial keratitis (mk) in contact lens wearers are due to Pseudomonas, and this specific infection heralds a worse prognosis, we investigated outcomes at our facility to determine the frequency and extent of visual loss in cases of Pseudomonas keratitis occurring in eyes with previously normal visual acuity and no risk factors for MK except contact lens wear.
