An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides solvent-free cleaning systems and methods, the systems and methods comprise a polymer substrate having a crosslinked matrix positioned on at least one surface of the polymer substrate, wherein the crosslinked matrix is configured to absorb particulates from a surface of a material when placed in direct contact.

The present invention provides for a disinfecting radiation base for working in conjunction with a storage case for an ophthalmic lens. The disinfecting radiation base provides disinfecting radiation for disinfecting a surface of the storage case. The disinfecting radiation base may also include a processor and digital memory for automated functions associated with the base.

The present invention provides for a disinfecting radiation base with a germicidal bulb for providing disinfecting radiation to a storage case for an ophthalmic lens, such as a contact lens. The disinfecting radiation base provides disinfecting radiation for disinfecting a contact lens. The disinfecting radiation base may also include a processor and digital memory for automated functions associated with the base.

Ophthalmic devices coated with an active agent eluting coating are provided herein. Placement of the coated ophthalmic devices on the surface of eye results in modulation of cells responding to an immune modifying agent and reducing inflammation-related complications in the eye. Methods for treating ocular disorders are also provided herein. The disclosed subject matter is based, in part, on the discovery that ophthalmic devices coated with a cytokine eluting coating can shift early-stage macrophage polarization associated with alleviation of symptoms and causes of inflammatory ocular disorders.

Systems and methods for cleaning a hard-coated ophthalmic lens and stripping the hard-coating of the hard coated ophthalmic lens in a single pass process are disclosed. The hard-coated ophthalmic lens is sequentially treated with a cleaning solution, an alkaline solution, and a stripping solution. Ultrasonic power is applied to the solutions and the ophthalmic lens during the process. The resulted ophthalmic lens has substantially no sign of chemical attack or residual hard coating or varnishes thereon.

A contact lens cleaner device which can be used to clean contact lenses from debris and bacteria. The contact lens cleaner device pumps contact lens solution into reservoirs where contact lenses can be placed. The contact lenses rotate within the reservoirs and debris falls into a filter, as the contact lens solution continues to be pumped through the device. UV-lighting kills bacteria and cleanses the contact lenses in the reservoirs.

A device for cleaning a contact lens includes a lid, a base portion and a drawer unit detachably coupled to the base portion. The drawer unit includes a container holding a volume of fluid therein. The device also includes a vibration generator for generating an oscillatory motion on the container, where the oscillatory motion induces turbulence in the fluid with sufficient force to dislodge deposits from a lens immersed in the fluid. The device also includes a circuit board secured to the base portion and a light source for generating radiation to disinfect the dislodged deposits in the fluid. A suspension secures the light source to the circuit board and a resonance frequency of the suspension is offset from a frequency of the oscillatory motion.

A method for sterilizing an ophthalmic lens with long-term inhibition against regrowth of micro-organisms includes the step of placing the ophthalmic lens in a sealed container containing a care solution. A photocatalytic agent coated in an inner surface of the container is exposed to ultraviolet light, to cause the photocatalytic agent to undergo a photocatalytic reaction under the ultraviolet light, which causes destruction of micro-organisms on the ophthalmic lens.
