Abstract
As the range of multifunctional contact lens (CL) care solutions continues to expand, it is increasingly important to provide users with products that ensure both safety and quality. During lens wear, contact lenses become contaminated with tear film deposits and environmental impurities. This article reviews the key components of multifunctional solutions responsible for cleaning, disinfection, hydration, and storage of contact lenses.
