ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEM FOR DISINFECTING AND CLEANING CONTACT LENSES
The present invention is generally related to a lens care system and method for disinfecting and cleaning contact lenses. A lens care system or method of the invention is based on electrolysis of an aqueous chloride solution for generating germicide species (e.g., chlorine, hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite, or combinations thereof) and subsequent in-situ electrolysis of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite in the aqueous solution for neutralizing the generated germicide species.
METHOD FOR INTRODUCING AN ACTIVE COMPOUND INTO A SOFT HYDRATED CONTACT LENS
A method for introducing an active compound into a soft hydrated contact lens comprising the steps of: providing a hypotonic aqueous solution having an osmolarity value less than 150 mOsm and an effective quantity of that active compound, immersing the soft contact lens in the aqueous hypotonic solution, subjecting the contact lens immersed in the aqueous hypotonic solution to mechanical vibrations having a power greater than 100 mW for a predetermined time.

AUTOMATIC CONTACT LENS CARE DEVICE
The present disclosure discloses an automatic contact lens care device, including a cover body, a base body, a washing assembly, a driving mechanism, and at least one storage device. The base body has an inner cavity and an opening communicating with the inner cavity. The cover body is arranged on the opening side of the base body. The washing assembly includes a first brush head and a second brush head. The first brush head is arranged on a side of the cover body facing the base body. The second brush head is arranged in the inner cavity. The first brush head and the second brush head are made of a soft material. The first brush head and the second brush head are correspondingly arranged in a matched manner. A contact lens can be placed between the first brush head and the second brush head.
