Quantitative Analysis of Protein Deposits on Hydrophilic Soft Contact Lenses: I. Comparison to Visual Methods of Analysis. II. Deposit Variation among FDA Lens Material Groups

Abstract excerpt

Patient-worn lenses (N = 1058) were evaluated using both the Rudko method for deposit typing and a quantitative assay for adsorbed protein. The visible deposit typing results were compared to the values obtained by the quantitative assay. The Rudko method for deposit classification was found to be a poor quantitative measure of deposited protein. Statistical differences were found between protein levels on lenses...
