METHOD OF REMOVING CONTAMINANTS FROM A CONTACT LENS

摘要

A method of cleaning contaminants from a contact lens is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of positioning a contact lens (13) and an adsorbent (11) so that the adsorbent is disposed between the contact lens and an electric current source (16), immersing the contact lens, the adsorbent, and the current source in a saline solution, then applying an electric current from the current source through the adsorbent and the contact lens so that contaminants carried by the contact lens migrate to the adsorbent. Additionally, a disposable, arcuate-shaped adsorbent article conformable to and matable with the convex and concave surfaces of the contact lens is also disclosed.
