In-vitro dehydration kinetics coefficient of Kalifilcon A and other contact lens materials
© 2024. The Author(s)..
In contact lens (CL) wear, dehydration needs to be tailored to avoid dryness and related symptoms. In this view, this work aims to assess and compare the in-vitro dehydration kinetics of five CL materials, including the newly developed Kalifilcon A CL. At 36 °C and 60% relative humidity, the in-vitro dehydration kinetics of the different CLs were compared using a gravimetric method. CLs were analyzed either after a rinse of a few seconds in preservative-free saline solution or after a 24-h incubation in the same solution. A model based on the Fick diffusion equation was employed to deduce a water kinetics coefficient, providing insights into water diffusion within the polymeric matrix. The study reveals that all materials exhibit a non-Fickian dehydration behavior, with significant differences in dehydration kinetics coefficients and dehydration rate slopes. Etafilcon A and Omafilcon A, both hydrogel CLs, exhibit a similar behavior, different compared to the pattern shown by Senofilcon A and Delefilcon A, silicone-hydrogel CLs. Notably, Kalifilcon A, despite being a silicone-hydrogel, displays a hydration behavior reminiscent of hydrogel CLs.
