Aim: To assess the frequency of contamination of ophthalmic solutions in a long-term care facility and to describe the characteristics of contaminated solutions.

The culture results were analysed according to the therapeutic class of the solution, how long the bottle had been in use and the appearance of the bottle on visual inspection.
