Method for cleaning contact lenses utilizing polysulfonates

摘要

Contact lenses are cleaned by contacting the lenses with a cleaning composition containing an effective amount of one or more sulfonate polymers comprising monomeric units represented by formula (I), wherein X represents a bond or a linking; M represents a salt-forming cation; and R is a hydrogen or alkyl group. The cleaning compositions can also be employed at elevated temperatures or may contain suitable antimicrobial agents in order to simultaneously clean and disinfect the lenses.
