Pathogenic strains of Acanthamoeba are causative agents of a serious sight-threatening infection of the eye known as Acanthamoeba keratitis. The prevalence of this infection has risen in the past 20years, mainly due to the increase in number of contact lens wearers. Bioclen FR One Step (Ophtecs Corporation) is the only available povidone-iodine based system for the disinfection of silicone hydrogel lenses and soft contact lenses on the market. Bioclen FR has been proven to be highly effective against bacteria and fungi that can cause problems for contact lens users. In this study, Bioclen FR One Step was tested against three clinical Acanthamoeba isolates from contact lens cases. The results demonstrated that the tested Acanthamoeba clinical strains were sensitive to Bioclen FR One Step.
棘阿米巴属的致病菌株是一种严重的眼部威胁视力的感染，称为棘阿米巴角膜炎。这种感染的患病率在过去 20 年中有所上升，主要是由于隐形眼镜佩戴者数量的增加。Bioclen FR One Step（Ophtecs 公司）是市场上唯一可用于硅水凝胶镜片和软性隐形眼镜消毒的聚维酮碘系统。Bioclen FR 已被证明对可能导致隐形眼镜使用者出现问题的细菌和真菌具有高度有效性。在这项研究中，Bioclen FR One Step 针对三种来自隐形眼镜病例的临床棘阿米巴分离株进行了测试。结果表明，测试的棘阿米巴临床株对 Bioclen FR One Step 敏感。
