Abstract
⺠Chitosan, an important material in ophthalmological research, was sulfated (CS). ⺠The sulfation leads to a viscous material, water soluble in neutral medium. ⺠CS is adequate as tear substitute, which is needed by up to 30% of world population. ⺠The antimicrobial activity was not observed and differed from previous study. ⺠CS must have low molecular weight/low sulfation degree to give antimicrobial effect.
