Use of a Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Line for Screening the Safety of Contact Lens Care Solutions In Vitro

Abstract

This experiment shows that ReNu MultiPlus, SOLO-care Plus With Aqualube, Complete Moisture Plus, and AQuify 5 Minute contact lens solutions have a minimal effect on human corneal epithelial cells in culture, whereas OPTI-FREE Express has a higher negative effect on tight junctions, cell membranes, and overall metabolism of these human corneal epithelial cells.
