CARE & MAINTENANCE OF SOFT
CONACT LENSES
-ADITI VORA
INTRODUCTION
• Care & maintenance is one of the most important aspects of contact lens wear.
• It influences the success of contact lens wear and patients satisfaction with their
lenses.
PURPOSE
• To maintain comfort
• Provide good vision
• Maintain eye health
• Maintain lens hydration and parameters stability
• To prevent or reduce the risk of ocular infection/inflammation
THE NEED OF LENS CARE SOLUTION
• Cleaning - It removes microorganisms and loose debris and prepares lens for
disinfection.
• Rinsing - Removes the cleaner and debris after cleaning
• Disinfection – Kills microorganisms, which may remain on the lens.
• Weekly/protein cleaner – Removes firmly attached proteins from the lens
surface.
• Lubricating – Rewet the lens surface while the lens is being worn.
• Lens storage case.
FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS
• DAILY CLEANER :
✓loosely bounded foreign matter
• cell debris
• mucus, lipid, protei cosmetics
✓Majority of micro organisms
5
• RINSING SOLUTION:
✓ Toremove
daily cleaners loosened
deposits micro
organisms
✓ Rinse lenses after over night storage
6
• TYPES
✓ Saline
preserved
unpreserved
✓ Multi purpose solution
7
• DISINFECTING SYSTEM / UNIT:
✓ Kill or deactive potentially pathogenic organisms
including bacteria, fungi, viruses, amoeba.
✓ Maintain lens hydration
• TYPES
✓ HEAT
✓ CHEMICAL
oxidative
cold chemicals
DISINFECTANT / PRESERVATIVE SENSITIVITY
SYMPTOMS:
✓ Sudden decrease in dissatisfaction
✓ Decreased wearing time (3 – 4 hours)
✓ Burning , grittiness , dryness
SIGNS:
✓ Conjunctival redness
✓ Epithelial damage
✓ Corneal inflammation
• PROTEIN REMOVER:
✓ Helps to remove or loosen tightly bound protein deposits
• REWETTING / LUBRICATING SOLUTIONS:
✓ Toalleviate discomfort
✓ Rehydrate contact lens
✓ Flush debris
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CARE PRODUCTS
All lens care systems should:
• Adequately perform cleaning, rinsing and disinfection
• Be nontoxic and harmless to ocular tissues
• Be compatible with lenses and cause no changes in parameters
• Be simple to use
• Be affordable.
OCULAR MICROORGANISMS
In normal healthy individuals, the ocular defense system is very effective at
preventing infections. Even though less than 1% of all contact lens wearers will
develop even a minor infection, wearing contact lenses does increase the
potential for infection by compromising the eye’s natural defense system.
Effective, routine lens care will minimize this risk. In order for an infection to
occur, microorganisms must invade and damage the ocular tissue. As compared
to all of the microorganisms that exist, relatively few can cause ocular infections.
The vast majority of ocular infection are caused by bacteria.
TYPES OF MICROORGANISMS
• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Protozoa
• Viruses
CONTACT LENS DEPOSITS
Any lens surface coating or lens matrix formation which is not flushed or rinsed
from the lens by the tears during blinking. In effect, anything that remains
on the surface despite blinking is a deposit
TYPES OF CONTACT LENS DEPOSITS
• Protein deposits
• Lipid deposits
• Mucin deposits
• Enviromental deposits
• Jelly bumps
• Inorganic deposits
• Fungi
• Lens discoloration
• Mercurial deposits
• Cigarette residues
• Rust spots
Jelly Bumps Lipid deposit
LENS MATERIAL
• Lens material has a strong influence on lens deposits. Lens materials are
categorized in four groups:
• Lens material that is high in water content, and/or ionic, has a general
tendency to deposit protein more than low water, and/or non ionic material.
• Group IV lens materials deposit the most protein of all groups.
Group Water content Charge
I Low water content Non-ionic
II High water content Non-ionic
III Low water content Ionic
IV High water content Ionic
PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
✓wash hands
✓Place lens in the palm of the hand
✓Place 2-3 drops of solution in the each surface of the lens
✓Rub with forefinger for about 15 seconds per side using a ‘to & fro’ and ‘L-R’
action. Rolling the forefinger in both directions cleans the lens periphery
✓Rinse well
✓Used weekly, after the daily cleaner and rinsing step
✓Lenses should be cleaned and rinsed again after enzyme cleaning
• CL should be stored in :
✓ a clean contact lens storage case
✓Fresh disinfecting solution
• CARE OF LENS CASES:
✓Discard used solution
✓Scrub with a toothbrush and detergent weekly
✓Rinse with hot water
✓Air dry
• Check the lens position before insertion
DAILY LENS CARE PROCEDURE
INSERTION & REMOVAL OF THE CONTACT LENSES
• Lens insertion:
✓Place the wet, clean right lens on the tip of the index finger or middle finger
of your dominant hand. Be sure the lens is correct side out. The edges should
face upwards (bowl shape), and not outwards (boat shape).
✓Pull down the lower lid with the middle or ring finger of the same hand. Use
your other hand to hold the upperlid (along with lashes) firmly open.
✓Look directly at the lens or into a mirror and place the lens directly on cornea
✓Release your lower lid first and the slowly release your upper lid.
✓Repeat the procedure for your other eye.
• Lens Removal:
✓Look up and pull the lower lid down with the middle finger of your dominant hand.
✓Place your index finger on the lower edge of your lens and slide the lens down to the
white of your eye.
✓Squeeze the lens lightly between your finger and thumb and remove gently.
✓Repeat the procedure for the other eye.
• Lens care instruction:
✓Rub : Place 3 drops of recommended multi purpose solution on each side of lens surface
and gently rub for 10 seconds on each side.
✓Rinse: Thoroughly rinse each side of the lens for 5 seconds with the multi purpose
solution.
✓Soak: Place the cleaned contact lens in the clean case and fill with fresh multi purpose
solution solution. Soak the lenses in the solution for at least 4 hours. Remember to always
use fresh solution and never reuse the solution.
MULTIPURPOSE SOLUTIONS
Single bottle of solution for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and
removing protein
Advantages
Simple, convenient, easy transport
Enhanced safety due to lower toxicity a
complications
Does not cause protein denaturation
Improved compliance
Disadvantage
Small incidence of mild sensitivity reaction

  • 14. CONTACT LENS DEPOSITS Any lens surface coating or lens matrix formation which is not flushed or rinsed from the lens by the tears during blinking. In effect, anything that remains on the surface despite blinking is a deposit
  • 15. TYPES OF CONTACT LENS DEPOSITS • Protein deposits • Lipid deposits • Mucin deposits • Enviromental deposits • Jelly bumps • Inorganic deposits • Fungi • Lens discoloration • Mercurial deposits • Cigarette residues • Rust spots
  • 16. Jelly Bumps Lipid deposit
  • 17. LENS MATERIAL • Lens material has a strong influence on lens deposits. Lens materials are categorized in four groups: • Lens material that is high in water content, and/or ionic, has a general tendency to deposit protein more than low water, and/or non ionic material. • Group IV lens materials deposit the most protein of all groups.
