While C. acnes is a gram-positive bacterium found in healthy human skin, its overgrowth or reduced phylotype diversity have been associated with inflammatory conditions such as acne vulgaris. Traditional treatments often apply antibiotics. Alternatives, like photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, apply visible light irradiation. These therapies utilize photosensitizers, such as coproporphyrin III (CP III), to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under specific wavelengths that inactivate bacteria. Compounds like aminolevulinic acid (ALA) enhance therapeutic effectiveness. In this study planktonic cultures of C. acnes subsp. elongatum were irradiated at wavelengths matched to the CP III absorbance spectrum, including rarely applied green and yellow light: 405 nm (violet), 496 nm (cyan), 547 nm (lime), 594 nm (yellow/amber), and 636 nm (red). To target flavins, another group of photosensitizers, C. acnes was irradiated at 456 nm (blue), resulting in bacterial reductions comparable to violet light. Results revealed a lethal dose to inactivate 90% (LD90) of 83.3 J/cm² at 405 nm. Higher doses were required for longer wavelengths with lower CP III absorbance. The addition of ALA improved the 636 nm LD90 dose from 2666 J/cm² to 1369 J/cm². This efficacy was comparable to green or yellow irradiation. These findings suggest that certain wavelengths, even without additives, may offer a competitive and simpler therapeutic option for irradiation therapies.

Initially, wavefront aberrations; total, tilt, high, total coma, total trefoil, total 4.foil, sphere, high astigmatism, RMS (3mm/5mm) were measured using Nidek OPD Scan II aberrometer/topograph in both eyes without contact lenses. Acuvue Oasys with HydraLuxe 1-Day (senofilcon A) daily disposable contact lenses were applied to the right eye, while Precision 1 (verofilcon A) daily disposable contact lenses were applied to the left eye based on refractive errors. Wavefront aberration measurements were repeated 60 min later with contact lenses, and aberrations were compared to baseline and fellow eyes' measurements. The magnitudes of aberration changes after contact lens application were analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Both types of daily disposable contact lenses reduced total wavefront aberrations. Acuvue Oasys with HydraLuxe 1-Day contact lenses showed a significant increase in total trefoil aberration (p=0.048).
