PURPOSE Covalent immobilization of antimicrobial peptide melimine onto contact lenses can produce broad-spectrum antimicrobial lenses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of melimine-coated contact lenses in an animal model and human clinical trial. METHODS Melimine was covalently attached onto the surface of contact lenses via EDC (1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] c...

purpose : to compare visual quality in patients receiving alcon acrysof restor multifocal versus acrysof sa60at monofocal intraocular lenses (iol) methods : in this interventional study, patients with senile cataract undergoing surgery were enrolled. the age of the patients ranged between 40 and 85 years, and their potential preoperative vision was 20/30 or better. in all patients phacoemulsifi...

We manipulated the accommodative response using positive and negative lenses to study any association between symptoms of pattern glare and accommodation. Two groups of eighteen young adults were selected from seventy-eight on the basis (i) that their rate of reading increased by 5% or more with an overlay compared to their rate without it, and (ii) that they reported more than 2 symptoms of pa...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination exists at numerous sites and poses a substantial risk to public health and the environment. Electrokinetic remediation technology has the potential to treat PAH-contaminated soils, but the effect of soil heterogeneities such as layers, lenses, and mixtures of different soils on the electrokinetic process has not been adequately studied. This s...

Many landfill siting reports, of which those of the Franklin County, OH, landfill are typical, imply continuity of minor sand bodies in till between widely-spaced test holes where sand deposits fall within similar depth ranges. This review of studies of the local origin of most sand and gravel "lenses" or "seams," and their transport in active glaciers, however, indicate that most such deposits...
