Purpose: Prolonged use of topical antifungal agents may compromise corneal epithelial integrity. Here, we used an in vitro model of human stratified corneal epithelium to compare the ocular toxicity profiles of 4 different antifungal eye drops. Methods: Human corneal epithelial cell sheets were cultured in a serum-free medium containing 0.1% micafungin, 1% voriconazole, 5% pimaricin, 0.1% amphotericin B, or controls (saline or 5% glucose). Cell viability and barrier function were measured by WST-1 assay and carboxyfluorescein permeability assay, respectively. Cell migration was measured on a wound healing assay. Results: WST-1 assay and carboxyfluorescein permeability assay revealed that amphotericin B was the most toxic drug, followed by pimaricin, micafungin, and voriconazole. Cell migration on a wound healing assay was decreased in the following order, amphotericin B, pimaricin, micafungin, and voriconazole. Conclusions: Topical micafungin and voriconazole appeared to be the least toxic to the corneal epithelium. Drug prescription should consider not only fungal species and susceptibility but also ocular toxicity and stage of treatment.
