Specifies two in vitro methods for determining the cytotoxicity of contact lens materials: the agar overlay test and the growth inhibition test. Primary purpose of these tests is to reveal the presence of leach ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
