Abstract:The practice of medical and dental profession has long been associated with high levels of occupational stress. The stress of professional training can be a motivator for some, for others it can have serious consequences. By identifying stressors affecting students, necessary modifications can be made to improve the quality of life of dental and medical students. This article reviews the sources, impacts and solutions of stress among dental and medical students.

Abstract:Introduction: To report a case of microbial keratitis in an individual with keratoconus using rigid gas permeable contact lenses. Method: - A 23- year-old male presented with a history of pain, redness, photophobia, watering in right eye and his vision was reduced upon awakening. He was a known case of bilateral keratoconus who used rigid gas permeable contact lenses in both eyes on daily wear basis. Slitlamp examination revealed a paracentral stromal infiltrate in right eye. Corneal scrapings were collected for culture. Both contact lenses and lenses cleaning solution were collected for microbiological investigations.
