“…To perform these functions, they have strong antibacterial properties, demonstrate compability with tear film and ocular tissue, are chemically and physically stable throughout the shelf-life and are pyshically compatible with wide range of lens materials. Multi Purpose Solution (MPS) component (buffers, surfactant, chelators) can help optimize the the physical properties of solution of solution to match those of tear film and maintain homeostatsis which may improve its biocompability with the ocular surface [ 12 ]. A randomized study by Lipener compared two different regiments of MPS.…”

AIM:To analyze the correlation between the daily lens wear duration and dry eye syndrome.SUBJECTS AND METHODS:This study was an analytic cross sectional study using consecutive sampling conducted among the students in Economy and Bussiness Faculty and Faculty of Humanities in University of Sumatera Utara aged between 17 to 23 that wore contact lens continously for at least a year and 5 days a week. The symptoms were assessed using Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8) and interview about their contact lens comfort; eye drops usage, contact lens washing habit, daily circumstances, places to buy contact lens and personal experince in wearing contact lens.RESULTS:The questionnaire was completed by 53 students. All of them were female and wore softlens wearers. The mean duration of daily wear was 8.19 ± 2.20 hours. The most common symptom experienced was dry eye and the least symptom experienced was removing lens. The most frequent symptom experienced was closing eyes and the least frequent symptom experienced was removing lenses. This study used Exact Test as analysis statistic method. The result was p > 0.05 which means there is no correlation between daily lens wear duration and dry eye syndrome.CONCLUSION:This study showed that dry eye syndrome was not correlated with daily lens wear duration, but affected by many factors such as contact lens, lens care solution, eye drops usage and environment.

“…The cornea is the major refractive medium of the visual system, possessing complex and highly ordered optical characteristics [ 1 ]. The smooth wet surface of the ocular surface is maintained by the tear film, a complex amalgamation of lipids, proteins, mucins, defensins, and electrolytes [ 1 , 2 ]. The ocular surface harbors multiple genera of potentially pathogenic bacteria, including (but not limited to) Pseudomonas spp., Propionibacterium spp., Corynebacterium spp., Acinetobacter spp., Staphylococci spp., and Streptococcus spp.…”

Managing Corneal Infections: Out with the old, in with the new?

There have been multiple reports of eye infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with increasing evidence of ineffective treatment outcomes from existing therapies. With respect to corneal infections, the most commonly used antibiotics (fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and cephalosporines) are demonstrating reduced efficacy against bacterial keratitis isolates. While traditional methods are losing efficacy, several novel technologies are under investigation, including light-based anti-infective technology with or without chemical substrates, phage therapy, and probiotics. Many of these methods show non-selective antimicrobial activity with potential development as broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Multiple preclinical studies and a limited number of clinical case studies have confirmed the efficacy of some of these novel methods. However, given the rapid evolution of corneal infections, their treatment requires rapid institution to limit the impact on vision and prevent complications such as scarring and corneal perforation. Given their rapid effects on microbial viability, light-based technologies seem particularly promising in this regard.
