摘要：

Corneal infections cause by micro-organisms are the most serious complications of wearing contact lenses, The paper presents the first case of contact lens-associated keratitis caused by the protozoon Acanthamoeba sp, identified in Slovenia so far. The identification of Acanthamoeba as a cause of keratitis in a soft contact lens wearer alerted us to the fact that this health issue should be given more attention in the future.
