Inhibition of lens photodamage by UV-absorbing contact lenses.
PURPOSE To determine whether class 1 UV-blocking contact lenses protect against UVB radiation-induced damage in a human lens epithelial cell line (HLE B-3) and postmortem human lenses using a proteomics approach. METHODS HLE B-3 cells were exposed to 6.4 mW/cm(2) UVB radiation at 302 nm for 2 minutes (768 mJ/cm(2)) with or without covering by senofilcon A class 1 UV-blocking contact lenses or...

PURPOSE To determine whether class I ultraviolet (UV) light-blocking contact lenses prevent UV-induced pathologic changes in a rabbit model. METHODS Twelve rabbits were assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups (n = 4), as follows: senofilcon A (class I UV blocking) contact lenses; lotrafilcon A contact lenses (no reported UV blocking); no contact lens. The contralateral eye was patched without a c...
متن کاملpotentially pathogenic free-living amoebae in contact lenses of the asymptomatic contact lens wearers.
background: free-living amoebae (fla) including acanthamoeba spp. and hartmannella spp. are the causative agents of serious corneal infection especially within contact lens wearers. thus contact lenses and their storage case could be a suitable niche for potentially pathogenic amoebae. the main objective of the present study was to evaluate the contamination of contact lenses to free living amo...

شمار افراد استفاده کننده از لنزهای تماسی در طی ده سال اخیر، بدلیل سهولت کاربردو در دسترس بودن انواع مختلف لنزها افزایش یافته است. هر چند که این امر موجب می گردد تعداد افراد مستعد به لنزهای تماسی افزایش یابد.
متن کاملBacterial interactions with contact lenses; effects of lens material, lens wear and microbial physiology.
Contact lens wear is a successful form of vision correction. However, adverse responses can occur during wear. Many of these adverse responses are produced as a consequence of bacterial colonization of the lens. The present study demonstrated that during asymptomatic contact lens wear lenses are colonized by low levels of bacteria with gram-positive bacteria, such as coagulase negative staphylo...
