The incidence of microbial contamination of eye dropper bottles varies widely in the literature, ranging from 0.07% to 70% and not all ophthalmic solutions carry equal risk of contamination. This pilot study seeks to compare the rates of microbial contamination among multi-use ophthalmic solutions in an outpatient clinic after 28 days of use.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/vt150k30j}, recid = {10065}, address = {2023}, }
