Corneal cell adhesion to contact lens hydrogel materials enhanced via tear film protein deposition.

Tear film protein deposition on contact lens hydrogels has been well characterized from the perspective of bacterial adhesion and viability. However, the effect of protein deposition on lens interactions with the corneal epithelium remains largely unexplored. The current study employs a live cell rh...
