Abstract:
Antimicrobial ophthalmic devices such as contact lenses, ocular inserts, ocular bandages, and intraocular lenses comprise a hydrogel and an antimicrobially-effective amount of epsilon polylysine non-covalently attached to the hydrogel.
Abstract:
A sealed contact lens package contains a sterile, unworn contact lens and a contact lens packaging solution comprising epsilon polylysine (εPLL). The εPLL protects the contact lens from microbial contamination caused by handling the lens when it is removed from its package.
