Claims16
A water-soluble solid contact lens care agent with at least one first compartment and one second compartment, comprising at least one water-soluble agent for removing or supporting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens in the first compartment, and at least one agent in the second compartment that can neutralize a contact lens disinfection solution, wherein the first compartment is dissolved more quickly in the contact lens disinfection solution as compared to the second compartment when the first compartment and the second compartment are exposed to said contact lens disinfection solution at the same time and wherein said water-soluble agent for removing or supporting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens is a lipase with the Enzyme Commission No. 3.1.1.3 in an amount from 0.1 mg to 1.5 mg.
A method of using a lipase with the Enzyme Commission No. 3.1.1.3 as an agent for removing or supporting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens in a water-soluble solid contact lens care agent with at least one first and one second compartment, comprising at least one agent for removing or supporting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens in the first compartment, and at least one agent that can neutralize a contact lens disinfection solution in the second compartment, in which the first compartment is dissolved more quickly in the contact lens disinfection solution as compared to the second compartment, wherein both compartments can be exposed to said contact lens disinfection solution at the same time, comprising the step of combing the contact lens care agent with water and a contact lens.
