  Objective: This study aims to determine the in vitro anti-microbial efficacy of opened multi-purpose contact lens solutions on common contact lens-related ocular pathogens. Specifically, this study intend to compare the log reduction in microbial concentration when exposed to newly opened, 5 months- opened, and 10 months–opened multi-purpose contact lens solutions. Methods: This is a single-blind controlled experiment that evaluated five locally available multi-purpose contact lens solutions (MPS) in terms of their antimicrobial efficacy towards common contact lens-related ocular pathogens using the stand alone criteria. Newly opened, 5-month old, and 10 –month old multipurpose contact lens solutions were compared based on their effect in reducing microbial concentration at 6 hours of exposure. Results: Multi..
