Fundamentals of Protein Adsorption at the Solid-Liquid Interface over Short Time Periods
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-16)Purpose: To directly measure the quantity and degree of denaturation of biomaterial- adsorbed proteins over short time periods. Methods: Contact lenses were used as model biomaterials as they are widely used, readily ... -
Lysozyme Deposition Studies on Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Over 60 proteins have been detected in the tear film and among these lysozyme has attracted the greatest attention. Several techniques for elucidating the identity, quantity and conformation of lysozyme deposited on soft ... -
Overnight Corneal Swelling and Deswelling with Silicone Hydrogel Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-13)Purpose: To compare central corneal swelling (CS) after eight hours of sleep in eyes wearing 12 different silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses (CLs) and to model between-subject variability in CS and deswelling. Methods: ... -
Protein Deposition and Bacterial Adhesion to Conventional and Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)Introduction Contact lenses suffer from the same problems of deposition that other biomaterials exhibit, being rapidly coated with a variety of proteins, lipids and mucins. The first event observed at the interface between ...
