    Summary

    Chemical decontamination of hydrophilic lenses can cause complications. This review differentiates lens changes from chemical-induced issues and highlights incompatibilities in care methods affecting the eye and lens.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Hydrophilic contact lenses require specific care regimens.
    • Chemical decontamination is a common method for cleaning these lenses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review complications associated with chemical decontamination of hydrophilic lenses.
    • To differentiate between lens-induced and chemical-induced ocular changes.
    • To illustrate incompatibilities between different lens care methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on hydrophilic lens care and complications.
    • Analysis of findings differentiating ocular changes.
    • Case illustrations of care method incompatibilities.

    Main Results:

    • Chemical decontamination can lead to various ocular complications.
    • Distinguishing between lens wear and chemical damage is crucial.
    • Certain care combinations are incompatible and increase risks.

    Conclusions:

    • Careful selection of chemical decontamination solutions is essential.
    • Understanding incompatibilities prevents adverse events.
    • Monitoring ocular health is vital for contact lens wearers.
