Purpose: To characterize formulations of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as an artificial tear film and evaluate their efficacy in protecting the ocular surface epithelial cells from desiccating stress in vivo.
Methods: The physicochemical properties of NLCs, produced with components similar to the tear film such as phosphatidylcholine and squalene, were determined. In vitro cytotoxicity of NLCs was evaluated by a short-time exposure test in porcine corneal epithelial cells using a methyl thiazol diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay.
