Purpose: To compare the amount of protein deposits adhering to human-worn soft contact lenses, using the untreated contact lens from the contralateral eye as controls, to investigate the capabilities of the No Rub contact lens cleaning systems in protein removal from soft contact lenses.
Methods: New 1 Day Acuvue soft contact lenses were worn on a daily-wear basis by 16 Hong Kong Chinese volunteers on 5 separate days. Four right lenses of each subject were treated with No Rub contact lens cleaning systems (Alcon Opti-Free Express, Alcon Opti-Free Express No Rub Lasting Comfort Formula, B and L ReNu MultiPlus, and Ciba Vision SOLO Care Plus).
