Efficacy of chlorine disinfection of soft contact lenses.
We evaluated the chlorine system SOFTAB (Alcon) for the disinfection of soft contact lenses. The results indicate that a 1000-fold reduction in microorganisms was achieved within 6 h. Even with the slight interference of residual cleaner and the more significant interference of organic matter disinfection was still achieved.
