Purpose: The microbiological efficacy of multi-purpose solutions (MPS) hasbeen subject to scrutiny following two product recalls due to Fusarium andAcanthamoeba keratitis outbreaks. Here, the biocidal efficacy of commercialMPS and a 1-step hydrogen peroxide system were compared.
Method: Test solutions: MPS-1 (Biotrue: PQ1-PHMB), MPS-2 (COMPLETERevitaLens: PQ1-alexidine) and MPS-3 (Optifree Replenish: PQ1-MAPD) andPER-1 (Clear Care: 1-step hydrogen peroxide system). ISO 14729 panel or-ganisms were: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococ-cus aureus, Candida albicans, Fusarium solani. A. castellanii (ATCC 50370)was also studied. Biocidal assays were performed according to ISO 14729.Acanthamoeba trophozoite and cyst viability was determined by a mostprobable number approach.
Results:MPS-1,MPS-2 and PER-1 gave similar resultswith a 4–5 log kill ofthe bacteria and a 3–4 log kill of fungi after 4–6 hr exposure. MPS-3 showedreduced efficacy against S. aureus, S. marcescens and F. solani (2.3, 2.8 and2.1 log kill, respectively at 6 hr). MPS-1, MPS-2 and Per-1 gave A. castellaniitrophozoite log kills of >3.0 at 6 hr and 2.4 for MPS-3. For cysts, MPS-1 andMPS-3 showed a 0.2–0.5 log kill at 6 hr and 2.2 log with PER-1 compared to>3.0 log by 4 hr with MPS-2.
Conclusions: Both the newMPS’s studied here showed good antimicrobialefficacy although MPS-2 had significantly greater activity against A. castel-lanii cysts. Recent product recalls have highlighted the importance of bothMPS design and microbiological testing methods to meet the challenge ofemerging pathogens, user noncompliance and newer, more complex, prod-uct formulations.

Purpose: Stenotrophomonas and Delftia are isolated frequently from contactlens storage cases (CLSC) of asymptomatic wearers and can cause keratitis.The biocidal efficacy of multipurpose disinfectant solutions (MPDS) and a 1-step peroxide system against these bacteria was investigated.
Method: Three strains of S. maltophilia and D. acidovorans were tested.MPS studied were MPS-1 (Biotrue: PQ1PHMB), MPS-2 (COMPLETE Revi-taLens: PQ1-alexidine), MPS-3 (Optifree Replenish: PQ1-MAPD), and PER-1(Clear Care: 3% peroxidewith platinum neutralising disc). The efficacy of foursilver antimicrobial CLSC was compared using bacteria inoculated in phos-phate buffered saline. The ability of the bacteria to support growth of Acan-thamoeba was studied.
Results: After 6 hr, MPDS-1, MPDS-2 and PER-1 gave ≥4.0 log kill for allStenotrophomonas and Delftia strains and no re-growth occurred up to 21days. MPDS-3 showed ≤1.0 log kill of S. maltophilia after 6 hr and a 3 logre-growth with two strains and 0.4 log for the third by 7 days. For Delftia,MPDS 3 showed≤1 log kill by 24 hr and re-growth (0.8–1.1 log) after 7 days.One silver CLSC reduced Stenotrophomonas and Delftia viability by 1–5 logafter 24 hr and continued to be effective over 21 days (3–5 log kill). Other sil-ver CLSC showed only stasis with Stenotrophomonas or allowed re-growthof Delftia. All strains supported Acanthamoeba excystment and trophozoitereplication.
Conclusions: S. maltophilia and D. acidivorans appear inherently resistantto MPDS-3. Bacterial replication or survival may instigate CLSC biofilm pro-duction, reduced disinfection efficacy and provide a food source and favor-able habitat for the growth of Acanthamoeba.

Purpose: Aspheric optics in contact lenses are designed to reduce inherentspherical aberration in the eye. Four studies were conducted to evaluatespherical aberration and visual acuity of two marketed silicone hydrogellenses (Test – balafilcon A with aspheric optics; Control – senofilcon A withconventional spherical optics) across a range of powers.
Method: A single power was assessed in each study (+3.00D, −1.00D,−5.00D, and −9.00D). Cohorts of 22–25 subjects were dilated with 1% Tropi-camide to achieve 6mm pupils. Baseline spherical aberration readings andhigh contrast logMAR visual acuities using a 6mm artificial aperture wererecorded and then repeated with lenses in situ. A linear mixed model wasemployed to analyze data across all studies and paired comparisons wereconducted within each study.
Results: The results showed that, over all studies, the Test lenses reducedthe mean spherical aberration by 0.136um, significantly more than the Con-trol lens which reduced the spherical aberration by only 0.054um (p<0.05).On average the Test lenses were 0.07 logMAR better (p<0.05). For the −9.00D,−5.00D and +3.00D powers individually, the Test lenses provided signifi-cantly better visual acuity (0.09 logMAR, 0.07 logMAR and 0.13 logMAR, re-spectively; p<0.05 in each case) compared to the control lenses.
Conclusions: Incorporating aspheric optics into contact lens designs canreduce the spherical aberration of the eyes’ optical system. These studiesshow that for contact lens patients, the balafilcon A lenses with asphericoptics can provide a clinically significant enhancement to vision over con-ventional spherical optics.

Purpose: To correlate retinal image quality metrics output from custom Ze-max™ clinical eye models with visual acuity results recorded in a multifocallens clinical study.
Method: Clinical diagnostic measurements were used to create Zemax™models of individual patient’s eyes. These clinical eyemodels were then usedto generate a retinal image quality metric that was correlatedwith the visualacuity results from a multifocal lens clinical study. Three different contrastand illumination conditions were used in the clinical study: (1) normalizedhigh contrast high illumination (NHCHI), (2) normalized low contrast highillumination (NLCHI) and (3) normalized low contrast low illumination (NL-CLI). All three conditions were correlated with the retinal image quality met-ric (weighted pattern recognition score) calculated from the Zemax™ mod-els.
Results: The percent correlation was calculated for each of the three clini-cal conditions with the weighted pattern recognition score. NHCHI yielded acorrelation of 76.47%, NLCHI correlated with 82.35% and NHCLI correlatedwith 88.25%. Normalized 20/20 Geometrical convolved E’s were also ex-ported fromZemax™ in order to give a subjective comparison of the patient’sperceived visual acuity.
Conclusions: Clinical eyemodels can be used to predict retinal image qual-ity for a diverse population of eyes. By using this population of clinical eyemodels, it is now possible to model different lens design concepts to deter-mine what a patient’s visual acuity results will be with that lens.
