Contact lenses: A molecule from pig stomach mucus prevents corneal damage

[bobXfr]

After a long day of working at the computer, scratchy contact lenses are not only painful, over longer periods of time they can also damage ocular tissue. Relief may be in sight from a natural mucus component referred to as a mucin. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now succeeded in demonstrating that contact lenses coated with purified porcine gastric mucin do not cause damage to the eye anymore.

My ocular surface damage is mainly due to contact lense overwear I will never be able to wear them again but contact lenses with mucin would be a successful progress to decrease contact lense induced dry eye at least..

Yes, today contact lenses are as lasik, if you know that they can give you dry eye, you'll never use them.or maybe occasionally at most
