Impact of Cosmetics on the Surface Properties of Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the impact of various cosmetics on the surface properties of silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lens materials.
METHODS: In this in vitro experiment, 7 SiHy contact lens materials were coated with 1 of 9 cosmetics, including common hand creams (3), eye makeup removers (3), and mascaras (3). Dark-field microscopy images were taken to determine pixel brightness (PB) after cosmetic exposure, which describes the visible …
