Effects of Sterilization Methods on the Integrity and Functionality of Covalent Mucin Coatings on Medical Devices

Carolin A. Rickert et al.

Summary: Recent advances in biomedical materials have shown that covalent mucin coatings on polymeric materials can greatly enhance the surface properties of medical devices. Sterilization of the coated devices is essential for medical applications, but common methods may compromise the structural integrity of the coatings. Covalent mucin coatings on medical devices show potential to withstand sterilization treatments, with ethylene oxide fumigation being the most promising method. The findings suggest that the beneficial properties of mucin coatings demonstrated in vitro can be transferred to in vivo applications.

All soft contact lenses are not created equal

Nathan Efron et al.

Summary: This article discusses the implications of inappropriately substituting different types of soft contact lenses, including lens properties and usage, as well as potential patient dissatisfaction and adverse events. It emphasizes that contact lenses are medical devices that require prescription and fitting, and different lens types have differences, so substitution may lead to undesirable consequences.

Tribology and the Ocular Surface

Chris W. Lievens et al.

Summary: This article discusses the application of tribology in the field of ophthalmology, particularly in dry eye disease and contact lens discomfort. Research findings suggest that the lubricating tear film plays a crucial role in reducing friction between the eyelid and the eyeball and altering the Stribeck curve. Changes to the tear film or the introduction of contact lenses may increase friction and lead to patient symptoms.

Tear Film Stability as a Function of Tunable Mucin Concentration Attached to Supported Lipid Bilayers

Kiara W. Cui et al.

Summary: This work develops a tunable in vitro model of the mucin layer of the human tear film. The model involves supported lipid bilayers and biotinylated bovine submaxillary mucins tethered onto the bilayers. The model can be used with interferometry to monitor film thickness and investigate tear film breakup. Higher mucin coverage in the model leads to delayed breakup times, potentially due to a thicker hydrated layer that protects film stability.

Sustained Release of a Polymeric Wetting Agent from a Silicone-Hydrogel Contact Lens Material

Ying Zheng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the uptake and release kinetics of a dilute aqueous polymeric-surfactant wetting agent in a newly designed silicone-hydrogel lens material. The results show that the diffusion coefficient of the wetting agent is significantly smaller than that of the free surfactant in bulk water, and the majority of the loaded amount is irreversibly bound in the lens matrix. The release of the wetting agent is more hydrophilic and polar, indicating the suitability of using this nonionic polymeric surfactant to enhance lens wettability over time.

Nanoscaled Morphology and Mechanical Properties of a Biomimetic Polymer Surface on a Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens

Xinfeng Shi et al.

Summary: The study modified the surface of a silicone hydrogel contact lens with a biomimetic phospholipid polymer to mimic the natural corneal tissue, resulting in nanoscaled concavities and convexities on the surface. The mechanical properties of the surface were found to be similar to natural tissues, and the material remained intact after 30 days of clinical use. These results demonstrate the validity of material preparation by biomimetic methods and suggest potential for development of human-friendly medical devices.

CLEAR-Contact lens wettability, cleaning, disinfection and interactions with tears

Mark Willcox et al.

Summary: Contact lens materials have undergone significant changes in the past 20 years with the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials. However, research is still needed to improve comfort, as the association between contact lens wettability and comfort is not clear. The interactions between lens materials, tear film, and disinfection solution play an important role in biocompatibility, but whether this can be altered to improve comfort remains debatable.

Could contact lens dryness discomfort symptoms sometimes have a neuropathic basis?

Charles W. McMonnies

Summary: Symptoms of dry discomfort in soft contact lens wearers can be exacerbated by tear dysfunction and lens-induced challenges to tear homeostasis, potentially leading to corneal nerve disturbances. Lid wiper neuropathy may also play a role in some cases of contact lens intolerance. Post-lens tear pool stagnation with increased concentrations of inflammatory mediators could contribute to corneal neuropathy, particularly when discomfort develops after successful wear. Esthesiometry and confocal microscopy may help diagnose contact lens-related corneal neuralgia in discontinued wearers.

Albumin Acts as a Lubricant on the Surface of Hydrogel and Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses

Chen-Ying Su et al.

Summary: The study analyzed how tear albumin affects the friction coefficient of contact lenses, concluding that albumin provided lubrication for silicone hydrogel lenses regardless of concentration, while it acted as a lubricant for hydrogel lenses only at normal concentration. The results did not correspond to albumin deposition amount or surface roughness, but a proposed model explained how albumin might act as a lubricant on the surface of some contact lenses.

Summary: In this study, a pHEMA hydrogel film was successfully modified with a fluorinated layer to improve its anti-biofouling properties. The modified pHEMA showed increased water contact angle and decreased surface energy, leading to significantly reduced protein and bacterial adhesion. The in vitro cytotoxicity assessment demonstrated that the modified pHEMA was noncytotoxic, highlighting the effectiveness of fluorinated surface modification in establishing a hydrophobic and anti-biofouling surface.

Relationships between the material properties of silicone hydrogels: Desiccation, wettability and lubricity

Petar Borisov Eftimov et al.

Summary: Silicone hydrogels (SiHy) are composite matrices designed for contact lenses, with their properties such as hydration, wettability, and lubricity needing to be optimized for use on the ocular surface. Different SiHy materials show varying performances under desiccation/rehydration cycling, with wetting agents incorporated ones being more susceptible to extended drying. There is a strong correlation between the wettability and lubricity of SiHy after at least 4 hours of blink-like cycling, providing insights for the design of novel ophthalmic materials.
