In a prophylactic method for cleaning and disinfecting a contact lens, the lens is contacted for an extended period, typically up to 10 hours, for example 5 to 10 hours, with a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The contacting is effected in the presence of a solid sustained release composition which slowly liberates a peroxide inactivator and which maintains its integrity over the extended period. The solid composition liberates sufficient peroxide inactivator such that substantially no peroxide remains in contact with the lens at the end of the extended period. The lens may then be contacted with a contact lens wetting or comfort solution before insertion into the eye.
