CL Solutions Affect Corneal Cells

Scientists discovered that multipurpose solutions have an impact on corneal cells: "Our results indicate an increase in cytotoxicity with borate-based MPS solutions in vitro when compared with both phosphate-buffered saline and borate-exposed lenses, suggesting that biocides and/or additives play a role in the observed cell reaction. Moreover, the mechanism of in vitro solution-induced toxicity appeared to be mediated by lens type, suggesting differences in the preferential adsorption/release profile of certain compounds." The study appeared in the journal Optometry and Vision Science. That's the word from MedCompare.com.
