Purpose• To describe a non-infectious corneal condition

associated with use of contact lenses disinfected with a multipurpose contact lens solution (MPS)

Methods• Observational case series• Private corneal practice• Retrospective chart review

Clinical Findings

• Symptoms included: – Ocular redness – Irritation– Decreased lens tolerance– Decreased visual acuity

• Signs included some combination of:– Punctate corneal

fluorescein staining (SPK)– Pinpoint white epithelial

opacities, only some of which stain with fluorescein

– Conjunctival injection – Epithelial microcysts– Small sub-epithelial

opacities– Limbal thickening– Whorl-like epitheliopathy

Findings

• 26 patients over three year period

• All patients used Opti-free solutions

• Most patients had more than one finding

Treatment• Many of the patients had already used topical

antibiotics and topical steroids without apparent improvement

• Cessation of contact lenses and elimination of Opti-free solution was effective treatment

• Resolution of signs and symptoms ranged from 3 days to > 6 months

• Patients with more severe findings at presentation took longer to resolve

• No patient had recognizable permanent sequelae

Outcomes• All patients with long-term follow-up returned

to CL use• Many patients successfully resumed CL use

with the same lens parameters, but with hydrogen peroxide disinfection

• Some patients switched to daily disposable contact lenses

• Several patients who returned to Opti-free solution disinfection had recurrence of clinical picture

Background

• In 2002, 32,000,000 people using lenses in US1, 87% using soft lenses

• Opti-free is the most commonly used solution for soft lens disinfection

Antimicrobials in MPS

• Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)– Renu Multiplus (0.00005%) [B&L]– AQuify (0.0001%) [Ciba]

• Myristamidopropyl dimethylamine (Aldox)– Opti-free* (0.0005%) [Alcon]

• Polyquaternium-1 (Polyquad)– Opti-free* (0.001%) [Alcon]

*Opti-free solutions contain both Aldox and Polyquad

Possible Relationships

• Aldox and Polyquad are proprietary disinfectants used only in Opti-free

• In vitro studies show cytotoxicity and decreased corneal epithelial cell viability after exposure to Opti-free4,5,6

• Study in rats did not show toxicity from Polyquad7,8

• Combination of factors likely responsible for clinical condition

Discussion

• Opti-free multipurpose contact lens solution may be associated with a particular pattern of corneal findings

• Corneal abnormalities slowly resolve with discontinuation of contact lens use

• These patients were able to resume use of contact lenses with a daily disposable lens or peroxide-based disinfecting system
