Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a cleaning agent which causes no lens deformation and provides large cleaning effect by incorporating organic solid particles and inorganic solid particles in the cleaning agent at a (80 - 99):(20 - 1) weight ratio. CONSTITUTION:The composition of solid particles is limited to a specific range. Namely, the organic solid particles and inorganic particles are incorporated in the cleaning liquid which contains a surface active agent at a (80 - 99):(20 - 1) weight ratio of the organic solid particles to the inorganic solid particles. The solid particles used here are, for example, silica, alumina, etc., as the inorganic particles and nylon powder, benzoquanamine resin, etc., as the organic particles. Consequently, the cleaning effect is improved and the shape holding force of the lens is improved.

E. Prior Art 1 Since contact lenses are worn directly on the eyes, ocular secretions such as proteins and lipids may adhere to the lens surface and become smudged. Furthermore, if the lens is worn for a long period of time without removing this dirt, not only the wettability of the lens surface and the optical characteristics of the lens will be impaired, but also the eyeballs may be damaged. Therefore, contact lenses must be thoroughly cleaned before use.

Conventional hard contact lenses made of polymethyl methacrylate are chemically stable, so they can be used with a wide variety of cleaning agents, and they are easy to rinse, so there are relatively few problems with dirt adhesion. However, after years of use, dirt can accumulate that is difficult to remove.

In addition, in recent years, contact lenses made of polymethyl methacrylate have been found to cause complications due to insufficient oxygen supply to the cornea of the eye, and lenses with high oxygen permeability containing organic silane compounds and fluorine compounds have been developed to improve the situation. is planned. However, -M has the disadvantage that when worn for a long period of time, it is more likely to get dirty and break than conventional hard contact lenses made of polymethyl methacrylate, making it difficult to clean the lenses.

The surfactant solution contains an organic abrasive as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 159821 or a mixed inorganic and organic abrasive as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-172815. Contact lens cleaning compositions for physically removing dirt have been proposed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The abrasives contained in conventional contact lens cleaning agents are either inorganic or organic, or a mixture thereof. Although inorganic abrasives are hard and have abrasive power and are good at removing dirt, they have the risk of damaging and deforming lenses. On the other hand, organic abrasives are soft and do not scratch the lens and have good shape retention, but have weak cleaning power. In the case of mixtures with

[Function] There are many contact lens cleaning compositions that contain solid particles, but due to the difference in the physical cleaning effect of the solid particles, there have been problems with cleaning power, scratches, and lens shape retention. 6 In the present invention, these problems can be alleviated by mixing inorganic solid particles and organic solid particles having a predetermined particle size at a predetermined weight ratio. Furthermore, the cleaning effect was improved by limiting the mixing ratio of organic solid particles and inorganic solid particles. Furthermore, by limiting the particle size of the fixed particles, it was possible to improve the lens' shape retention and scratch resistance.
