Effects of multipurpose solutions on the adhesion of Acanthamoeba to rigid gas permeable contact lenses

Purpose To evaluate the effect of multipurpose contact lens care solutions ( MPS s) on the adhesion of Acanthamoeba to rigid gas permeable ( RGP ) contact lenses. Methods Acanthamoeba castellanii ( AC ) trophozoites were inoculated onto untreated RGP contact lenses ( FP , Extra, or Menicon Z), and numbers of trophozoites adhering to lenses were counted under a phase contrast microscope at 18 h post‐inoculation (controls). Similarly, adhering...
