Clinical and Epthelial Barrier Function Evidence of Lens Material and Care Solution Bio-Incompatibilities

Dr. Jerry Paugh from SCCO's Center for Vision Research has pioneered the use of flurophotometry as a measure of corneal permeability. Here he discusses the latest data from his ongoing work exploring contact lens solution related changes in corneal epitheliam barrier function in relation to contact lens materials and lens care products.  His work has revealed dramatic increases in permeability linked to PHMB preserved care products and silicone hydrogel materials.
