Deskripsi
We propose the use of novel adsorbents, namely, micelle?clay complexes, made up of cetyl-pyridinium chloride (CPC) and clay for the eradication of keratitis-causing Acanthamoeba. The possibility of adding CPC, approved by the FDA for human use, in a contact lens disinfectant to formulate effective disinfectants is discussed further.
