The Antibiofilm efficacy of nitric oxide on soft contact lenses
BACKGROUND To investigate the antibiofilm efficacy of nitric oxide (NO) on soft contact lenses. METHODS Nitrite (NO precursor) release from various concentrations (0-1000 μM) of sodium nitrite (NaNO2, NO donor) was measured by Griess Assay. Cell viability assay was performed using human corneal epithelial cell under various concentration (0-1000 μM) of NaNO2. Biofilm formation on soft contact...

متن کاملDrug delivery through soft contact lenses.
Clinical studies were conducted on 466 patients waiting for senile cataract surgery and receiving chloromycetin, gentamicin, or carbenicillin subconjunctivally and through New Sauflon 70 and New Sauflon 85 lenses. The aqueous drug levels were biologically estimated at various time intervals. Soft contact lenses provided significantly higher drug penetration than subconjunctival therapy. Both mo...
