Embodiment 1

[0034] Prepare a series of 10 mL test solutions listed in Table 1 below. Each solution contained saline and 20 mM of the buffers given in Table 1 below. 1 mg / ml egg lysozyme was added to each test solution, along with a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) control. The test solution was slowly mixed with a stir bar until the lysozyme was incorporated into the solution. 5 ml of each test solution containing lysozyme was retained as an unheated control. The remaining 5 ml of each lysozyme-containing test solution was placed in a glass vial, sealed with a silicone stopper and incubated at 80°C for 1 hour in a shaking water bath at 40 revolutions per minute (rpm). In the case of stabilization, these heating conditions were sufficient to denature lysozyme.

[0035] Vials were allowed to cool to room temperature prior to testing. A 0.00025 g / ml suspension of M.luteus was prepared in PBS from freeze-dried pools. During the test, the suspension was continuously mixed on a stirring tab...

Embodiment 2-5

[0074] Representative compositions of the present invention are given in Table 2 below. The compositions listed in Table 2 as Examples 2-5 were prepared according to the following method. Add non-polymer components such as tromethamine, tromethamine hydrochloride, sodium chloride, EDTA, Dequest, sodium borate and boric acid into hot water (about 50°C) sequentially, the amount of hot water is the final batch About 70-85% of the volume. This addition is done with constant agitation and each component is allowed to dissolve or disperse before adding the next component. Subsequently, Tetronic 1107 and PHMB were added with stirring to ensure adequate dispersion of the polymer. The resulting solution was mixed until complete dissolution was achieved. Cool the batch to room temperature with stirring. Adjust pH to about 7.1-7.5 by adding 1 N NaOH or 1 N HCl, then bring to final volume by adding water (20-30° C.) and mix for at least 15 minutes.

Abstract

A method for cleaning a contact lens employs a composition comprising tromethamine in an amount effective to reduce the amount of denatured protein on the contact lens, thereby making the contact lens easier to clean. Additionally, the composition provides prophylaxis against protein denaturation while the contact lens is worn by soaking the contact lens in the composition prior to placing the lens in the eye.

Description

[0001] Pursuant to 37 CFR 1.78(a)(4), this non-provisional application claims priority to provisional application 60 / 342,869. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to compositions and methods for cleaning and preferably also disinfecting contact lenses. The composition reduces the amount of denatured proteins on the contact lens, thus making the contact lens easier to clean. Additionally, by soaking the contact lens in the composition prior to wearing the lens in the eye, the composition provides protection against protein denaturation while the contact lens is worn, thereby preventing denatured proteins from accumulating on the surface of the contact lens while worn. effect. Background technique [0003] During the normal course of wearing a contact lens, a tear film and debris consisting of proteinaceous, oily, fatty and related organic matter has a tendency to deposit and adhere to the lens surface. Contact lenses must be cleaned to remove these tear fi...
