SIGNIFICANCE: Contact lens (CL) wearing may cause discomfort and eye dryness. We describe here the efficacy of a synthetic polymer in protecting both the corneal epithelial cells and the CL from desiccation damage. Artificial tears containing this polymer might be helpful to treat or prevent ocular surface damage in CL wearers.
PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the protective effects of the synthetic polymer 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (poly-MPC) on corneal epithelial cells and CLs subjected to desiccation damage.
METHODS: The interaction of poly-MPC with the cell membrane was evaluated on human primary corneal epithelial cells (HCE-F) by the sodium dodecyl sulfate damage protection assay or the displacement of the cell-binding lectin concanavalin A (ConA). Survival in vitro of HCE-F cells and ex vivo of porcine corneas exposed to desiccating conditions after pre-treatment with poly-MPC or hyaluronic acid (HA), hypromellose (HPMC), and trehalose was evaluated by a colorimetric assay. Soft CLs were soaked overnight in a solution of poly-MPC/HPMC and then let dry in ambient air. Contact lens weight, morphology, and transparency were periodically registered until complete dryness.
RESULTS: Polymer 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and HPMC were retained on the HCE-F cell membrane more than trehalose or HA. Polymer 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, HA, and HPMC either alone or in association protected corneal cells from desiccation significantly better than did trehalose alone or in association with HA. Contact lens permeation by poly-MPC/HPMC preserved better their shape and transparency than did saline.
CONCLUSIONS: Polymer 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine coats and protects corneal epithelial cells and CLs from desiccation damage more efficiently compared with trehalose and as good as other reference compounds.
