Soft contact lens application method, liquid for contact lenses and soft contact lens package

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide an application method capable of facilitating the application of the soft contact lens without using any instrument, a liquid for contact lenses capable of being used for the application method, and a soft contact lens package. The present invention is a method for applying a soft contact lens, including a shrinkage step of shrinking a soft contact lens by contacting the soft contact lens with a liquid for contact lenses, the liquid for contact lenses being capable of shrinking the soft contact lens to a state of being more intensively shrunken than an equilibrium state thereof in a physiological saline; and an application step of applying the shrunken soft contact lens to the eye, in which after the application step, the size of the soft contact lens is restored.

主权项

1. A method of shrinking a soft contact lens, comprising:
shrinking a soft contact lens by contacting the soft contact lens with a liquid having an osmolarity of no less than 370 mOsm/L and no greater than 550 mOsm/L, wherein: a diameter of the soft contact lens is shrunken by no less than 0.2 mm as compared to a diameter of the soft contact lens in an equilibrium state in a physiological saline; and the diameter of the soft contact lens is restored by no less than 80% when applied to an eye.
