Using an In Vitro Model of Lipid Deposition to Assess the Efficiency of Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions to Remove Lipid from Various Contact Lens Materials
Abstract
PURPOSE: To test the ability of two commercially available hydrogen peroxide disinfection solutions, one containing a surfactant and one without, to remove lipid from various contact lens materials using in vitro radiochemical experiments.
METHODS: Etafilcon A, senofilcon A and balafilcon A contact lens materials were incubated in an artificial tear solution (ATS) containing a mixture of lipids, proteins, mucin and either (14)C-cholesterol or …
