Comparison of Efficacy, Comfort, and Ease of Application Between Four Methods of Eye Irrigation Trials Applied to Healthy Subjects
In this study, sponsored by MorTan, a comparison between the new Morgan MT2000 Lens and the older Morgan MT100 Lens was performed. In addition, the new MT2000 Lens was tested WITHOUT ANESTHETIC, and all methods were compared to the manual irrigation method. Overall it was shown that the Morgan MT2000 Lens offers an improved technique for the care of patients with eye trauma requiring irrigation treatment.
