Agenda: The purpose of the
conference is to discuss test methods for
evaluating the anti-microbial activity of
contact lens care products.
On January 22, 2008, we hope to
reach consensus on critical test method
parameters for evaluating the activity of
contact lens care products against
Acanthamoeba. These parameters
include organism species and strain,
trophozoite culture and cyst production,
microbial challenge level, and assay
method for survivors.
On January 23, 2008, we hope to
present and discuss critical elements for
new or modified disinfection efficacy
test methods that simulate ‘‘real world’’
consumer use conditions. These
elements include contact lens and lens
case uptake of preservative and other
solution ingredients, solution
evaporation, minimal consumer
compliance, biofilm formation and
clinical isolates as challenge organisms.
