Jones L. Contact Lens Research around the World - Update on Contact Lens Care The 66th Annual Meeting of the Japan Contact Lens Society, Tokyo, Japan, Jul 14, 2024 [ Show Abstract ]

Despite the growing use of daily disposable lenses, analysis of the contact lens market suggests that some 50% of the lenses fitted globally are reusable, necessitating the use of contact lens solutions. Over the past 30 years the development of contact lens solutions has shown tremendous changes, with products becoming increasingly complex and diverse in their composition and performance. To many practitioners and patients, contact lens solutions appear relatively similar in their composition, resulting in many choosing to change between products on a whim, often driven by cost considerations rather than sound clinical or scientific acumen.
This presentation will briefly review the major components of care regimens and investigate the importance of cleaning, wetting and compatibility when choosing a modern care regimen. Of particular note are updates on biocides to produce a broader spectrum of disinfection and reduce biofilm formation, along with novel wetting agents, particularly those which can enhance wettability of silicone hydrogel materials. It will emphasise up-to date results to help clinicians understand the importance of choosing a solution – rather than letting the patient choose the solution themselves.
