Patient reported a contact lens tore while in the eye and was unable to remove a piece.The patient was seen for lens removal and indicates the lens caused two abrasions that were treated with antibiotics.The patient later was diagnosed with a (b)(6) infection that was treated with (b)(6).While a (b)(6) is not normally caused by lens wear, and would not be a reportable incident, in this instance, it is likely the trauma from the alleged damaged lens and resulting eye injury likely caused or contributed to the infection.Good faith efforts have been made to obtain additional information regarding the injury, medical treatment provided, and outcome.This incident is being reported in an abundance of caution due to the potential relationship with lens use, lack of medical information, and unknown outcome.
