| Lens Material | Microorganism | Initial CFU/Lens | CFU/Lens and Soaking Solution After 6 Hours (n=12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicone acrylate | S. aureus | 1.0 x 106 | <1 |
| P. aeruginosa | 7.4 x 105 | 0 | |
| S. marcescens | 6.3 x 105 | <1 | |
| C. albicans | 5.0 x 105 | 0 | |
| F. keratoplasticum | 4.1 x 105 | 0 | |
| Fluorosilicone acrylate | S. aureus | 1.4 x 106 | 0 |
| P. aeruginosa | 8.4 x 105 | 0 | |
| S. marcescens | 5.7 x 105 | 0 | |
| C. albicans | 5.6 x 105 | 0 | |
| F. keratoplasticum | 4.1 x 105 | <1 |
Notes: Data reflect an average CFU from 4 lenses and 3 lots of solution for each lens type. Regimen test criteria is an average of <10 CFU per lens and soaking solution. For results of the soft (hydrophilic) and silicone hydrogel lenses tested, see Gabriel et al.7
