Effectiveness of an enzyme in removing deposits from hydrophilic lenses

Am J Optom Physiol Opt. 1977 Feb;54(2):76-84. doi: 10.1097/00006324-197702000-00003.

Abstract

Bausch and Lomb Soflens contact lenses with various types of deposits were cleaned with the Allergan Enzymatic Contact Lens Cleaner. Its effectiveness in removing the deposits varied with the type of deposit. Effectiveness of the cleaner can be predicted from the initial appearance of the deposit.
