[0035] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution described in this patent has at least one or more of the following beneficial effects: This contact lens care and disinfection equipment facilitates the management of trial contact lenses in hospitals or optometry clinics, making it more convenient and preventing clutter. It also allows for the cleaning and care of trial lenses, making them easier for users to try. Multiple care or cleaning compartments enable effective management of trial lenses, making them easier to store and significantly increasing cleaning and care efficiency. Of course, this patent is not limited to trial lenses.

[0036] The cleaning kit is generally used to clean contact lenses before they are inserted into the eye, as there may be residue of glass cleaner, lubricant, or contact lens solution on the lenses. If these residues are not cleaned, the contact lenses may turn yellow. It can also be used in conjunction with the post-treatment cleaning kit to remove any residual contact lens solution from the treated lenses.

[0037] The control panel and nursing compartment base are set up separately, which facilitates the connection and operation of multiple nursing compartment bases by the control panel, saving on usage costs. At the same time, the integrated control panel has more complete functions and more convenient monitoring.

[0038] The groove can hold the contact lens and also facilitates water control after the contact lens has been cleaned. Drain holes are provided in the groove to prevent water from accumulating inside.

[0039] The top cover is easy to remove from the care compartment base, allowing for convenient care of the contact lens as needed.

[0040] By using a circular ultrasonic line and ensuring it is ultrasonically welded on the same plane, leaks are prevented during sealing, resulting in a good seal and preventing seepage or capillary siphoning that could cause mixing of solutions in the inner and outer chambers. Furthermore, this design brings the sealing line closer to the ultrasonic source.

[0041] This patent uses a neutral NaCl solution as the base solution for skincare products, which is inexpensive and readily available, reducing skincare costs for consumers. The neutral NaCl solution contains no added acidic or alkaline substances, is non-corrosive, has no chemical hazards, and is highly safe, significantly reducing production, storage, and transportation costs.

[0042] This patent applies to rigid contact lenses, including but not limited to orthokeratology (Ortho-k) lenses, scleral lenses, RGP lenses, and composite lenses, with a particular focus on Ortho-k lenses. Ortho-k lenses are rigid gas-permeable contact lenses with corneal reshaping capabilities, typically made of highly oxygen-permeable rigid corneal contact lens materials.

[0043] This patented nursing chamber automatically adjusts the pH value of the solution through a special structure and method, offering high flexibility. By setting up an outer chamber, with a third electrode inside serving as the anode, and connecting it to the cathode inside the inner chamber when powered, the anode enables the outer chamber to produce ClO₂. - The cathode causes OH to be generated inside the chamber. -The solution inside the inner chamber is alkaline, so an outer chamber helps to regulate the pH value inside the inner chamber, ensuring that only a neutral NaCl solution is needed as the initial solution. This makes the solution not only versatile and readily available, but also safe and harmless as it contains no acidic or alkaline substances, greatly facilitating user operation, production, storage, and transportation. Furthermore, the alkaline environment inside the inner chamber inhibits the formation of HClO, preventing HClO from fading the lenses. Hypochlorite ions mostly exist in the form of NaClO, which has a relatively mild bactericidal and protein-removing effect. Additionally, sodium hypochlorite has a poor bleaching effect under alkaline conditions, further preventing lens fading. The ClO in NaClO... - Ions can kill bacteria and degrade proteins, and with the help of electrophoresis, they can remove proteins.

[0044] Meanwhile, the presence of the cation exchange membrane ensures a highly alkaline environment within the care chamber, inhibiting the generation of HClO and its impact on lens fading.

[0045] The nursing chamber, consisting of an inner and outer compartment, operates as follows: First, one of the first and second electrodes in the inner compartment is used as the cathode, and the third electrode in the outer compartment as the anode. When the power is switched on, a reduction reaction occurs at the cathode in the inner compartment, electrolyzing H2O in a chloride-containing solution to produce H2 and OH-. - At this point, the pH of the solution inside the inner chamber is greater than 7, indicating alkalinity. An oxidation reaction occurs at the anode, where Cl- ions from the chloride-containing solution are removed. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in the solution to generate HCl and HClO. Due to the action of the cation exchange membrane, NaOH at the first electrode cannot enter the outer chamber, thus ensuring the pH value in the inner chamber remains stable. After a period of reaction, the OH- in the inner chamber... - As the pH of the solution in the inner chamber increases, the power is disconnected once it reaches the desired value. Then, the power to the first and second electrodes in the inner chamber is turned on. One electrode of the first and second electrodes serves as the cathode, and the other as the anode. The cathode continues to generate OH-. - The anode will react with Cl in the solution inside the inner chamber. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in a strongly alkaline solution inside the chamber to produce NaClO and NaCl. - It can sterilize and degrade proteins on contact lenses. The proteins on the contact lenses also move towards the electrode with the opposite charge under the action of the electric field force formed between the anode and cathode, ultimately achieving the effect of sterilizing and removing proteins from the contact lenses.

[0046] The electrochemical cleaning and sterilization technology of this patent has excellent sterilization and protein removal effects, effectively degrades proteins, sterilizes instantly, and does not damage the contact lens itself during the sterilization and protein removal process. It has good stability and low toxicity and side effects.

[0047] Commercially available contact lens solutions can easily damage contact lenses, and their sterilization rate is only around 90%. This patented solution achieves instant sterilization, not only with excellent sterilization effect but also with rapid sterilization speed. It achieves a 99% bacterial kill rate and a 99% fungal kill rate in 3 minutes, and kills Bacillus subtilis in 10 minutes, reaching the sterilization level.

[0048] When the first and second electrodes in the nursing chamber of this patent are energized, the chloride ion solution generates several types of oxidizing substances and free radicals, especially hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions, which can damage the peptide chains of proteins. The preferred mass concentration of hypochlorite ions in this patent is 0.1%, and the hypochlorite ion concentration of solution A in the AB solution is 0.375%. Although the AB solution can achieve good sterilization and protein removal effects, the contact lens cannot be immersed in the AB solution for a long time; otherwise, the AB solution will damage the contact lens, such as causing fading and corrosion. This patent, due to the addition of electrophoresis technology, achieves excellent sterilization and protein removal effects with a preferred hypochlorite ion concentration of 0.1%, less than one-third of that in the AB solution. This makes it safer to use and easier to operate. Furthermore, by appropriately controlling relevant parameters, it can reduce fading of the contact lens and prevent coating damage and corrosion.

[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0069] Preferred, such as Figure 4 and Figure 13-14 As shown, the third electrode 1111 extends from the bottom of the outer compartment into the outer compartment. The third electrode 1111 is sealed to the bottom of the outer compartment, and the tail end of the third electrode 1111 protrudes outside the bottom of the outer compartment for electrical connection.

[0070] Preferably, the anode of the first electrode 1122, the second electrode 1123, and the third electrode 1111 is a chlorine-evolution electrode. In the example, the first electrode 1122, the second electrode 1123, and the third electrode 1111 are all chlorine-evolution electrodes.

[0071] Preferably, the nursing solution is a chloride ion-containing solution. In the example, the nursing solution is 0.9% physiological saline.

[0072] The specific steps for using the two-bedroom nursing unit are as follows: S1, pour chloride ion solution into the inner and outer compartments, and place the contact lens in the chloride ion solution in the inner compartment; S2, connect the first electrode of the inner chamber and the third electrode of the outer chamber to the power supply. The first electrode is the cathode (also called the negative electrode), and the third electrode is the anode (also called the positive electrode). An oxidation reaction occurs at the third electrode, which reacts with the Cl- in the chloride-containing solution in the outer chamber. -Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in the solution to generate HCl and HClO. A reduction reaction occurs at the first electrode, which electrolyzes H2O in the chloride-containing solution within the nursing chamber to produce H2 and OH-. - The cation exchange membrane can provide an alkaline environment for the inner chamber. S3, After the reaction in step S2 has proceeded for a period of time, disconnect the power supply to the first and third electrodes, and connect the power supply to the first and second electrodes. One of the first and second electrodes is the anode, and the other is the cathode. The cathode electrolyzes the H2O in the solution to produce H2 and OH-. - The anode will react with Cl in the solution. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which reacts with sodium hydroxide in the solution to produce Cl. - and ClO - The ClO - It can sterilize and degrade proteins on contact lenses. The proteins on the contact lenses also move towards the electrode with the opposite charge under the action of the electric field force formed between the anode and cathode, thus achieving sterilization and protein removal of the contact lenses.

[0073] Step S2 ensures that the solution inside the inner chamber is in an alkaline environment. This guarantees that when the first and second electrodes inside the inner chamber are working, NaClO is easily generated and HClO is not easily generated, thus reducing the adverse effects of HClO on the fading of the test piece and the material properties.

[0074] Preferably, in step S3, when the pH value in the inner chamber is between 8 and 12.5, the power supply to the first electrode and the third electrode is disconnected, and the power supply to the first electrode and the second electrode is connected.

[0075] Preferably, the chloride ion-containing solution is a NaCl solution. More preferably, the NaCl solution is a 0.9% (w / w) physiological saline solution. More preferably, the pH value of the NaCl solution is 7.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the power-on voltage of the first electrode and the third electrode is not less than 1.1V, the stable voltage of the first electrode and the third electrode after power-on is 3.5-7.5V, and the power is disconnected after the first electrode and the third electrode react for 2-11 minutes. In step S3, the power-on voltage for connecting the first and second electrodes is not less than 1.1V, and the stable voltage after connecting the first and second electrodes is 3.5-6.5V, controlling the ClO in the solution. - The mass concentration is 0.01%-0.4%, and the cleaning and sterilization of the contact lens is completed after the first electrode and the second electrode react for 10-30 minutes.

[0077] In step S2, after the first electrode and the third electrode are connected to the power supply, the first electrode or the second electrode becomes the cathode and the third electrode becomes the anode. The following reaction occurs at the cathode and the anode: Cathode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ - =H2↑+2OH - Anode: 2Cl - - 2e - →Cl2↑ Cl₂ + H₂O = HCl + HClO In step S3, after the power is turned on at the first and second electrodes, the following reactions occur at the cathode and anode: Cathode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ - =H2↑+2OH - (I) Anode: 2Cl - - 2e - →Cl2↑ (Ⅱ) Cl2 + H2O = HCl + HClO (III) The obtained HClO will undergo the following reaction: HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H₂O (Ⅳ) HClO + NaOH =NaClO+ H2O (Ⅴ) NaClO + H₂O = HClO + NaOH (VI) When a chloride-containing solution is in an alkaline environment, the ClO in the solution... - It mainly exists in the form of NaClO. Because in an alkaline environment, the dynamic equilibrium of reaction (VI) shifts to the left, resulting in a higher NaClO concentration and a lower HClO concentration. NaClO's bactericidal and protein-removing effects are relatively mild, and its bleaching properties are poor under alkaline conditions, thus preventing lens fading. The ClO in NaClO... - Ions can kill bacteria and degrade proteins, and with the help of electrophoresis, they can remove proteins. HClO has a bactericidal effect, but it also has a bleaching effect. High concentrations of HClO can cause lens fading, while lower concentrations greatly reduce its impact on contact lens color.

[0078] Of course, in another embodiment, in addition to the three-compartment form mentioned above, the nursing compartment can also be a two-compartment form, as shown in the figure. The nursing compartment 11 includes a first outer compartment 1001, a second outer compartment 1002, and an inner compartment 112 located inside the first and second outer compartments. A cation exchange membrane 1003 is provided between the inner compartment 112 and the first outer compartment 1001. The solutions in the inner compartment 112 and the first outer compartment 1001 are electrically connected only through the cation exchange membrane 1003. An anion exchange membrane 1004 is provided between the inner compartment 112 and the second outer compartment 1002. The solutions in the inner compartment 112 and the second outer compartment 1002 are electrically connected only through the anion exchange membrane 1004. The first outer compartment 1001 is provided with at least one sixth electrode 1005 and at least one seventh electrode 1006. When energized, the sixth electrode 1005 is the anode and the seventh electrode 1006 is the cathode.

More preferably, a drain hole 122 is provided at the bottom of the groove 121, as described above, and will not be repeated.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, both the first outer compartment 1001 and the second outer compartment 1002 are arranged around the outside of the inner compartment. More preferably, the first outer compartment 1001 and the second outer compartment 1002 are each a semi-circular compartment, forming a ring around the outside of the inner compartment. In this example, the inner compartment 112, the first outer compartment 1001, and the second outer compartment 1002 are integrally connected. More preferably, the inner compartment 112, the first outer compartment 1001, and the second outer compartment 1002 correspond one-to-one. The first outer compartment 1001 and the second outer compartment 1002, arranged one-to-one around the outside of the inner compartment, allow for separate and independent cleaning and care of different lenses, avoiding interference between different lenses and different reaction processes. This design also results in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, more intuitive operation, and easier user operation, preventing misoperation and providing consumers with a better and more comfortable user experience.

[0080] The design of the first outer compartment 1002 and the second outer compartment 1002 surrounding the inner compartment makes full use of space, resulting in a more rational design and effectively reducing the volume of the nursing components. Of course, the inner compartment 112, the first outer compartment 1001, and the second outer compartment 1002 can also have other arrangements, and this patent is not limited to these.

[0081] Preferably, the sixth electrode 1005, the seventh electrode 1006, the eighth electrode 1007, the ninth electrode 1008, and the tenth electrode 1009 are all electrode probes. Of course, this patent is not limited to this, and they can also be electrode sheets, etc.

[0082] Preferably, the sixth electrode 1005, the eighth electrode 1007, and the tenth electrode 1009 are all chlorine-evolving electrodes. More preferably, the seventh electrode 1006 and the ninth electrode 1008 are also chlorine-evolving electrodes.

[0083] The operating principles and methods of the above three-compartment nursing units are as follows: S1: Pour a chloride ion-containing solution into the inner chamber, the first outer chamber, and the second outer chamber, and place the contact lens 9 in the chloride ion-containing solution in the inner chamber; S2: Connect the sixth and ninth electrodes to the power supply. The sixth electrode is the anode, and the ninth electrode is the cathode. An oxidation reaction occurs at the sixth electrode, where Cl- in the chloride-containing solution in the first outer chamber is converted into chloride ions. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in the solution to generate HCl and HClO. A reduction reaction occurs at the ninth electrode, which electrolyzes H2O in the chloride-containing solution within the inner chamber to produce H2 and OH-. - This provides an alkaline environment for the inner warehouse; S3: After the reaction in step S2, disconnect the power supply to the sixth and ninth electrodes, connect the power supply to the eighth and ninth electrodes, and clean and care for the contact lens using electrophoresis and / or dissociation techniques. S4: Contact lens cleaning and care completed. Disconnect the power supply to the eighth and ninth electrodes, and connect the power supply to the seventh and tenth electrodes. The tenth electrode is the anode, and the seventh electrode is the cathode. Under the action of the electric field, the ClO in the inner chamber... - OH - Cl - The H+ in the inner chamber enters through the anion exchange membrane into the second outer chamber. + Na + It enters the first outer chamber through the cation exchange membrane.

[0084] Preferably, in step S3, the eighth electrode is the anode and the ninth electrode is the cathode. The eighth electrode undergoes an oxidation reaction, and the eighth electrode removes Cl from the chloride ion solution within the inner chamber. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in the inner chamber and contains OH-. - ClO is produced in the solution - and Cl - A reduction reaction occurs at the ninth electrode, which electrolyzes the H2O in the chloride-containing solution inside the inner chamber to produce H2 and OH-. - The ClO -It is capable of sterilizing contact lenses and degrading proteins on them. In the example, the ClO... - It can sterilize contact lenses and degrade proteins on them. Since step S2 has provided an alkaline environment for the inner chamber, the NaClO inside the inner chamber is less likely to hydrolyze to produce HClO, thereby reducing the adverse effects of HClO on lens fading and material properties.

[0085] In a further preferred embodiment, in step S3, after the eighth and ninth electrodes are powered on, an electrophoretic reaction also occurs. Under the influence of the electric field, the tear proteins on the contact mirror surface detach from the contact mirror and move towards the electrode with the opposite charge. In this example, the degraded proteins move towards the electrode with the opposite charge under the influence of the electric field, thereby achieving sterilization and protein removal of the contact mirror.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the chloride ion-containing solution is a NaCl solution. More preferably, the NaCl solution is a 0.9% (w / w) physiological saline solution. Even more preferably, the pH value of the NaCl solution is 7.

[0087] Preferably, in step S2, the pH value of the solution in the inner chamber is in the range of 8-12.5, and the power supply to the sixth and ninth electrodes is disconnected.

[0088] Preferably, in step S3, when cleaning and caring for the contact lens, the ClO content in the inner chamber solution is controlled. - The mass concentration is 0.01%-0.4%, and the contact lens is cleaned and sterilized after the eighth and ninth electrodes react for 10-30 minutes.

[0089] In the example, in step S4, an oxidation reaction occurs at the tenth electrode, where the tenth electrode reacts with Cl- in the chloride ion solution within the inner chamber. - The reaction is Cl2, and a reduction reaction occurs at the seventh electrode. The seventh electrode removes H+ from the chloride ion solution in the inner chamber. + The reaction produces H2. The tenth electrode is the anode; under the influence of the electric field, ClO in the inner chamber... - OH - Cl - It passes through the anion exchange membrane and enters the second outer chamber; the seventh electrode is the cathode, and under the action of the electric field, the H+ in the inner chamber... + Na + It enters the first outer chamber through the cation exchange membrane. ClO in the inner chamber... - OH - Cl - H + Na +The solution passes through anion exchange membranes and cation exchange membranes respectively, entering the second and first outer chambers. As the reaction proceeds, the inner chamber gradually becomes a pure aqueous solution. Once the inner chamber is filled with a pure aqueous solution, the reaction in step S4 stops, and the contact lens is placed in the pure aqueous solution within the inner chamber. The pure aqueous solution has no side effects on the contact lens, allowing it to be stored in the inner chamber for an extended period. This invention provides a care device that allows contact lenses to be stored in the inner chamber after cleaning and care without needing to be transferred to other chambers or have the care solution replaced with a long-term storage solution. After care is completed in the care chamber, the contact lens can remain stored there without being removed, ensuring safety and harmlessness. No other operations are required; simply remove the lens from the inner chamber when needed. This is extremely convenient for customers.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the power-on voltage for the sixth and ninth electrodes is not less than 1.1V, the stable voltage after the sixth and ninth electrodes are powered on is 3.5-7.5V, and the power is disconnected after the sixth and ninth electrodes react for 1-11 minutes. More preferably, the pH value in the inner chamber is adjusted to the range of 10-12.5. More preferably, in step S2, the stable voltage after the sixth and ninth electrodes are powered on is 5V, the power is disconnected after 1 minute of operation, and the pH value in the inner chamber is adjusted to the range of 10-12.5. Of course, this patent is not limited to these embodiments; the working time and working voltage in step S2 can be selected with other values ​​as needed.

[0091] Preferably, in step S3, the power-on voltage for connecting the eighth and ninth electrodes is not less than 1.1V, the stable voltage after connecting the eighth and ninth electrodes is 3.5-6.5V, the effective chlorine concentration of the solution in the inner chamber is controlled within the range of 0.01%-0.6%, and the contact lens is cleaned and sterilized after the eighth and ninth electrodes react for 10-30 minutes. It should be noted that effective chlorine refers to the amount of chlorine with an oxidizing capacity equivalent to that of a chlorine-containing disinfectant, and its content is expressed as a percentage concentration (%). More preferably, the ClO2 concentration in the solution is controlled... - The mass concentration is 0.01%-0.4%. More preferably, in step S3, the stable voltage of the eighth and ninth electrodes after being powered on is 5V, and the power is disconnected after approximately 20 minutes of operation to obtain the best sterilization and protein removal effect, and the safest operating environment. More preferably, the ClO in the solution is controlled... - The mass concentration is 0.01-0.229%. Of course, the working time and working voltage in step S3 can be selected as other values ​​as needed.

[0092] Preferably, in step S4, the turn-on voltage of the seventh and tenth electrodes is not less than 1.1V, the stable voltage of the seventh and tenth electrodes after being powered on is 10-40V, and the power is disconnected after the seventh and tenth electrodes react for 10-60 minutes. More preferably, the alkaline sodium hypochlorite solution in the inner chamber is converted into a neutral aqueous solution. More preferably, in step S4, the seventh and tenth electrodes operate at 30V, and the power is disconnected after approximately 15 minutes, resulting in the alkaline sodium hypochlorite solution in the inner chamber being converted into a neutral aqueous solution. Of course, this patent is not limited to these values; the working time and voltage in step S4 can be selected according to needs. Table 1 below shows the change in effective chlorine concentration in the solution in the inner chamber as the stable voltage and time change in step S4.

[0093] Table 1. Changes in the effective chlorine concentration in the inner chamber solution during step S4 with variations in stable voltage and time.

[0094] In step S2, after the sixth and ninth electrodes are powered on, the sixth electrode becomes the anode and the ninth electrode becomes the cathode. The following reactions occur at the cathode and anode: Anode: 2Cl - - 2e - →Cl2↑ Cl₂ + H₂O = HCl + HClO Cathode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ - =H2↑+2OH - In step S2, on the one hand, this reaction creates an alkaline environment for the inner chamber; on the other hand, the cation exchange membrane can block anions from passing through the cation exchange membrane, especially blocking ClO in the first outer chamber. - It passes through the cation exchange membrane into the inner chamber. The advantage of this step is that the contact lens is less likely to fade during this and subsequent steps.

[0095] In step S3, after the power is turned on to the eighth and ninth electrodes, the following reactions occur at the cathode and anode: Anode: 2Cl - -2e - →Cl2↑ Cathode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ - =H2↑+2OH - At this point, the overall electrolysis reaction inside the inner chamber is: 2NaCl + 2H₂O = Cl₂ + H₂ + 2NaOH. The Cl₂ produced by electrolysis reacts with NaOH to form NaClO. Therefore, the solution in the inner chamber mainly contains NaOH, NaClO, and H₂O. Step S3 can sterilize the contact lens; NaClO can decompose proteins; and electrophoresis can peel off proteins. The combination of electrophoresis and electrolysis makes protein removal more complete. Furthermore, ClO… - It has a bactericidal effect; the ClO inside the chamber... - A small amount of HClO has a bactericidal and protein-removing effect, while ClO - A small amount of HClO does not easily cause the contact lens to fade.

[0096] ClO in the inner chamber solution of step S3 - The following dynamic equilibrium exists: ClO - + H2O⇌HClO+OH - OH in the inner chamber solution - At higher concentrations, this dynamic equilibrium shifts to the left, decreasing ClO₂ levels. - Hydrolysis reduces the amount of HClO in the solution.

[0097] Step S2 creates an alkaline environment in the inner chamber, that is, the reaction produces OH-. - To avoid localized fading of the contact lens due to excessively high HClO concentration in the inner chamber during step S3, it is crucial to ensure an alkaline environment is created within the care chamber, especially near the eighth electrode, to prevent localized discoloration and uneven coloring of the contact lens, which severely impacts its usability. Figure 17 As shown in the attached figure, the contact lens cleaned and cared for using the technical solution of this utility model does not fade, while the contact lens fades after being cleaned and cared for using a conventional method that does not provide an alkaline environment.

[0098] Normally, users remove the contact lenses from the cleaning compartment after cleaning and care. However, if the user forgets to remove them and the lenses remain in the compartment for an extended period, the lenses may fade. This is because the pH value of the solution in the compartment decreases over time. This is because carbon dioxide in the air dissolves in the solution and reacts with NaOH to form sodium carbonate, lowering the pH of the alkaline environment. In step 3 above, ClO... - The hydrolysis equilibrium shifts to the right, increasing the amount of HClO. HClO has bleaching properties, and its increased content easily causes the contact lens to fade. Additionally, NaClO also has bleaching properties, leading to a gradual increase in HClO.

[0099] In step S4, besides the oxidation reaction occurring at the tenth electrode and the reduction reaction occurring at the seventh electrode, the ions in the inner chamber at this time include ClO. -OH - Cl - H + Na + After energizing in step S4, under the influence of the electric field, the ClO in the inner chamber... - OH - Cl - Passing through the anion exchange membrane into the second outer chamber, the H in the inner chamber... + Na + It passes through the cation exchange membrane into the first outer chamber until the solution in the inner chamber becomes a pure aqueous solution. The contact lens can then be stored for a long time in a pure aqueous solution environment.
