Figure Lengend Snippet: Dxp depth distribution of in corneal slices and the concentration of Dxp in the aqueous humour following the 6 h application of SOLOCARE AQUA® overnight stored soft contact lenses (Miru 1 month® and 1 day Acuvue®) and hourly eye drop instillation (5 times) of Bepanthen® and Siccaprotect®. * indicates statistically significant difference (i. aqueous humour – 3-fold higher deposition with the eye drop group vs. the contact lens group ( p < 0.0014); ii. 400–1000 μm – 3-4 fold higher deposition with eye drops ( p < 0.0108); iii. 300–400 μm – 3-4 fold higher deposition with eye drops ( p < 0.0179); iv. 200–300 μm and 100–200 μm – Bepanthan® showed higher deposition than both contact lenses but Siccaprotect® was only superior to Miru 1 month®) ( n = 6, mean ± SD).
