Cleaning, conditioning, storing and wetting system and method for rigid gas-permeable contact lenses and other contact lenses.

摘要

A system and method for cleaning, conditioning, storing and wetting rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, using a cleaning, conditioning and storing solution and a separate wetting solution each containing high purity benzyl alcohol or sorbic acid. Each solution contacts hydrophilic disinfectants or preservatives which do not inhibit proper wetting of rigid gas permeable contact lenses. The lenses are stored in the cleaning, conditioning and storing solution during non-wearing periods. This storage also acts as a secondary or back-up cleaning treatment to help remove any residual contaminants.
