    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic research
    • Biomaterials science
    • Optometry

    Background:

    • Hydrophilic contact lenses are designed for ocular surface compatibility.
    • Lenses, excluding continuous wear types, spend time in non-physiological solutions.
    • Understanding these solutions' properties is vital for contact lens care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the pH characteristics of solutions used with hydrophilic contact lenses.
    • To assess the potential impact of solution pH on contact lens performance and eye health.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of pH levels in common contact lens storage and cleaning solutions.
    • Characterization of the chemical environment encountered by lenses outside the eye.

    Main Results:

    • Identified a range of pH values in various contact lens care solutions.
    • Highlighted variations in pH that may affect lens material and ocular surface.

    Conclusions:

    • The pH of alternative media is a critical factor in contact lens wear.
    • Further research is needed to optimize solution pH for enhanced lens safety and comfort.
