Improvement of a pendulum‐type apparatus for friction test of a contact lens to simulate the conditions of its actual usage

open access: yesBiosurface and Biotribology, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 167-175, November 2024.
Abstract Friction between the contact lens (CL) and the corneal or conjunctival surfaces is considered one of key factors in triggering CL‐associated adverse effects. However, the relationship between friction properties and these effects remains unclear. Traditional measurement methods often fail to replicate real‐life conditions, thereby highlighting

Application frequency – key indicator for the efficiency of severe dry eye disease treatment – evidence for the importance of molecular weight of hyaluronan in lubricating agents

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 5, Page e663-e671, August 2024.
Abstract Purpose Lubricant eye drops are the main therapeutic resource for dry eye disease (DED), with each drop representing the equivalent of ocular surface disease treatment. Thus, any reduction in the frequency of eye drop application reflects a degree of therapeutic success.
