A catalytic element for increasing the reaction rate of a chemical species in solution, said catalytic element comprising: (a) a catalyst substrate (80), including: (1) a base portion (84), (2) a side wall portion (86) extending from the peripheral edge of the base portion, wherein said portions define an inner concave surface (82) and an outer convex surface, and (3) a means (22) for affixing said cytalytic element to a catalytic element supporting member, and (b) a coating of catalytic material deposited on at least a portion of at least one of said surfaces, which catalytic material catalyzes the decomposition of a said species in sotution. Also disclosed are a method of forming a catalytic element and an assembly for retaining ophthalmic lenses. <IMAGE> |
