The effect of eye closure on protein and complement deposition on Group IV hydrogel contact lenses: relationship to tear flow dynamics

Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effect of overnight eye closure on the rate and composition of protein deposition on high water content ionic matrix soft contact lenses (Group IV SCLs) and to extrapolate from this data information on the probable change in the rate of reflex-type tear secretion associated with eye closure. Group IV SCLs were temporally sampled after equivalent periods of wear under closed eye (C) or open eye (O) conditions. Lenses were rinsed in saline and the majority of the tightly bound protein extracted at 90 degrees C in 40% urea, containing 1% SDS, 1 mM DTT, 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.00). Residual protein was determined by Coomassie staining of the extracted lenses and densitometric analysis. Extracted protein was quantitated and separated by SDS-PAGE. Gels were either stained with Coomassie blue or reversibly stained with imidazole-zinc and blotted. Blots were PAS stained, or lectin and antibody probed for glycoproteins, secretory IgA (sIgA), IgG, lysozyme and complement C3. Laboratory simulated deposition studies were carried out on unworn lenses exposed to HPLC purified lysozyme. The protein in the saline rinse, to a large degree mirrored the composition of tear fluid in which the lens had been re...Continue Reading
