Within a few minutes of wear, contact lenses become rapidly coated with a variety of tear film
components, including proteins, lipids, and mucins. Tears have a rich and complex …

Purpose. To investigate the impact of lactoferrin and lipids on the kinetic deposition of
lysozyme on silicone and conventional hydrogel lenses, using a complex artificial tear …

Purpose. Following the solubilization of protein from patient worn soft contact lenses and
subsequent analysis via SDS-PAGE, an unidentified 30 kDa protein deposit was commonly …

Purpose. To establish proper contact lens care as a common practice by discovering the
quantity and condition of protein deposition on various types of soft contact lenses. Methods …

Purpose. To determine lysozyme deposition as a function of time in soft, high-water content,
ionic (group IV) contact lenses. Methods. ACUVUE lenses were worn on an extended-wear …

Proteins are a key component in body fluids and adhere to most biomaterials within seconds
of their exposure. The tear film consists of more than 400 different proteins, ranging in size …

Purpose To investigate the impact of lactoferrin and lipids on the kinetic denaturation of
lysozyme deposited on silicone and conventional hydrogel lenses, using a complex artificial …

We sought to compare the kinetics of in vitro lysozyme deposition on silicone hydrogel (SH),
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and FDA groups I, II, and IV contact lenses. Lenses were …

Purpose Previous studies have demonstrated deposition of tear proteins onto worn contact
lenses. In this study, we used proteomic techniques to analyze the protein deposits extracted …

Purpose. To determine the activity of hen egg lysozyme (HEL) deposited on conventional
and silicone hydrogel contact lens materials by using an in vitro model. Methods. ACUVUE 2 …
