Abstrakt: Effective and safe antiseptic eye preparations are necessary for prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory eye diseases.
Purpose: in vitro evaluation of the effect of antiseptic eye drops on corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells.
Material and Methods: Antiseptic eye drops «Bactavit», «Vitabact» and «Ocomistin» were the object of the study. Immortalized human corneal epithelial cell lines (HCE) and human conjunctiva (Chang Conjunctiva, Clone 1-5c-4) were used as the test systems. The viability of the cells was assessed by their metabolic activity and morphology using the MTT test and phase-contrast microscopy.
Results: Antiseptic eye drops belonging to different groups of chemical compounds induced cytotoxic effects on the cells of corneal epithelium (HCE) and human conjunctiva (Chang Conjunctiva, Clone 1-5c-4) of varying degrees, leading to morphological and functional changes in those cells.
Conclusion: The study confirms the possibility of using cultured cells for the in vitro comparative assessment of the cytotoxic effect of antiseptic ophthalmic agents.
