METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LENSES

摘要

A method of manufacturing an ophthalmic lens, involves contacting the lens with an aqueous solution comprising a surfactant to remove debris from the lens, prior to inspecting and packaging the lens. The aqueous solution may further comprise a buffering agent and/or sodium chloride. Preferred surfactants include polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer, nonion ic surfactants, such as a poloxamer or a poloxamine. The methods may also be employed for additional biomedical devices, such as ophthalmic implants.
