Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Shedding and Fluorescein Staining in Response to Silicone Hydrogel Lenses and Contact Lens Disinfecting Solutions

Abstract

This pilot study indicates that increased epithelial cell shedding was associated with a lens-solution combination which induces SICS. Our data provides insight into the transient nature of the SICS reaction and the nature of fluorescein staining observed in SICS.
