Lipid and protein deposition of N-vinyl pyrrolidone-containing group II and group IV frequent replacement contact lenses.

Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of protein and lipid deposition that occurs on N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) containing group II (non-ionic, high water content) and NVP containing group IV (ionic, high water content) frequent replacement hydrogel contact lens materials. METHODS: Twenty subjects were fitted with Group II (Vasurfilcon A) and Group IV (Vifilcon A) contact lenses, which were replaced monthly. The …
