Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Shedding and Fluorescein Staining in Response to Silicone Hydrogel Lenses and Contact Lens Disinfecting Solutions
Abstract
PURPOSE: A pilot study was conducted to evaluate human corneal epithelial cell shedding in response to wearing a silicone hydrogel contact lens/solution combination inducing corneal staining. The nature of ex vivo collected cells staining with fluorescein was also examined.
METHODS: A contralateral eye study was conducted in which up to eight participants were unilaterally exposed to a multipurpose contact lens solution/silicone hydrogel lens …
