Contact lens treatment systems and methods for disinfecting contact lenses are described. These systems and methods utilize a coated catalytic disc in combination with a fibrous catalyst. The coated catalytic disc contains a support disc and 6 to 300 mg of manganese present on at least a portion of the support disc, often in the form of manganese dioxide. The fibrous catalyst contains 25 to 50 mg iron, often in the form of an iron cation.

A system may automatically conduct hygiene cycles for a confined space such an interior space of a box suitable for storing and/or carrying packaged food. The system may include a hygiene device that can be attached to the box to conduct the hygiene cycles and a user interface device that can wirelessly communicate with the hygiene device to control the conduction of the hygiene cycles. The system may also automatically collect information related to the hygiene cycles using the hygiene device and transmit the collected information to a network directly or through the user interface device.

Contact lens treatment systems and methods for disinfecting contact lenses are described. These systems and methods utilize a coated catalytic disc, which contains a support disc and a manganese oxide present on at least a portion of the support disc. The coated catalytic disc contains 300 g to 1800 g of manganese, often in the form of manganese dioxide.

A contact lens cleaning apparatus for cleaning contact lenses outside of a user's hands includes a housing containing a pair of motors. A pair of fluid permeable containers are positioned outside of the housing and are attached to respective motors via shafts. The motors are operable to rotate the shafts, thus rotating the fluid permeable containers.

A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device is disclosed. The packaging system includes a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution that includes one or more conjugated glycosaminoglycans having a polymer backbone having a reactive functional moiety conjugated to an amine group having one or more moieties that inhibit and/or prevent one or more of oxidation and hydrolytic degradation of the polymer backbone during use in the eye; wherein the aqueous packaging solution has an osmolality of at least about 150 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is sterilized.
