  • Title: Histochemical analysis of bandage contact lens precipitates.
    Author: Nessim M, Pandey SK, Werner L, Mohammed M, Kumar V.
    Journal: Cont Lens Anterior Eye; 2008 Feb; 31(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 17766171.
    Abstract:
    Contact lens deposits have been reported previously with extended wear of soft contact lenses, with proteins, lipids, mucous, and various salts such as chloride, potassium and calcium being deposited on the lens surface [1]. We report an unusual case of precipitates on the surface of a bandage contact lens (BCL) following intensive treatment with topical preservative free artificial tears. Evaluation included microscopic and histochemical analysis of the BCL. We have also reviewed the literature for previous reports of contact lens precipitates.
