Ceragenin-based Contact Lens Disinfectant Solution--Is it Really a Better Mousetrap?

This analysis is solely the work of the author. It has not been edited or endorsed by GLG.
Analysis By:

Implications: A possibly more effective contact lens disinfectant that what is currently available, but can it compete in real world trials.

Analysis: The market would be large if the "kill rates" are as high as the study mentions.  What still needs to be examined is:  How does the solution work in real use, i.e. with the lens soaking in a contact lens case, not just soaking in the solution in a test vial; How does the solution's efficacy compare to the hydrogen peroxide systems like ClearCare and AOSept; How does the solution work with the new silicone hydrogel lenses?; And of course, what will be the allergic reaction rate with patients?  Once these questions are answered, a more definitive answer can be provided to the Client's question.
