Abstract
3N Contact Lenses Cleaner is a device utilized in effectively removing the protein deposition on contact lenses. It is independently developed by 3N Biological Technology Co., Ltd (3N Tech). Using the principle that proteins move in the electric field, 3N Contact Lenses Cleaner is able to adsorb proteins from the surface as well as the tiny holes of contact lenses, therefore, removes the protein deposition from the contact lenses effectively. In this study, we immersed contact lenses in artificial tears, and then proved 3N Contact Lenses Cleaner’s deproteinization effect with a qualitative detection using Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250’s feature of indicating proteins. Meanwhile, we determined the device’s protein elution effect with Bradford method. The result indicates that 3N Contact Lenses Cleaner can distinctively remove the protein deposition from contact lenses.
Highlights
Unlike traditional frame glasses, the full use of hydrophilic contact lenses includes care for lenses
We further proved 3N Contact Lenses Cleaner’s deproteinization effect on contact lenses
The principle 3N Contact Lenses Cleaner utilizes is that proteins are of colloidal properties and carry negative charge in certain environment, which enables them to move towards the positive pole in an electric field
Summary
The full use of hydrophilic contact lenses includes care for lenses. This step is necessary because hydrophilic contact lenses are composed of Hema materials with high water content, lenses in the process of wearing, continuous contact with tears, the protein in tears inevitably deposited into the lens surface and interior, reduce the oxygen permeability of the lens [1]. In order to reduce the impact of this disadvantage, it is necessary to remove the deposited protein, the current main method is the use of care fluid and the addition of special protein-removing enzyme tablets, and they mainly clean and disinfect the lens [2].
