ANTIMICROBIAL COATINGS FOR OPHTHALMIC DEVICES

摘要

A method of reducing adverse events with contact lenses by preventing microbial growth by attaching a polymer (with a molar ratio of carboxylate groups to sulfonate groups of greater than about 2) to a surface of an ophthalmic device is presented. Additionally, a method of promoting ocular health by attaching a polymer (with a molar ratio of carboxylate groups to sulfonate groups of greater than about 2) to a surface of an ophthalmic device is presented.
