摘要：

An artificial tear solution containing the major types of proteins, glycoproteins, and lipids represented in human tears has been developed. The adsorption of lipids onto various hydrogel lens materials (polymacon, lidofilcon A, phemfilcon A, etafilcon A) was examined by exposing the lenses to our artificial tear solution for 18 h. The adsorbed lipids were detected using Nile red stain. The patterns of deposits obtained in vitro were similar to those obtained with human worn lenses. The Nile red stain appeared far more sensitive in detecting lipids adsorbed to hydrogel lenses than the oil red O stain. It was found that lipids adsorb to hydrogel materials quite readily either in a pure state or combined with mucin or other proteins. In view of this work more attention should be given to the role of lipids in the etiology of various contact lens wear complications.
