Abstract
Purpose There is increasing evidence that microplastics exert harmful effects on human health and on the ocular surface. Recent studies have highlighted the presence of ocular surface exposure to microplastics via shedding from contact lenses. This study aims to investigate if microplastic particles are present in commonly used eyedrops in single-use plastic vials.
