  • Method and apparatus for delaying polymerisation
    Patent number: 11414501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for extending the shelf life of an initiated monomer mixture, the method comprising the prevention of premature free radical polymerisation by introducing oxygen or oxygen-containing gas into a container of the initiated monomer mixture and providing mechanical agitation to the container, wherein said introduction and agitation are performed in a temperature and pressure controlled environment.

  • Minimizing biological lipid deposits on contact lenses
    Patent number: 9943622
    Abstract: Method for minimizing the sorption of tear lipids on frequent replacement, or extended-wear, contact lenses, the method comprising (a) contacting the contact lens selected from the group consisting of senofilcon A, lotrafilcon A, lotrafilcon B, and comfilcon A B with a lens care solution for a period of at least three hours to minimize the accumulation of tear lipids on the contact lens. The lens care solution comprises 0.5 ppm to 10 ppm ?-[4-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-ammonium chloride-2-butenyl]poly[1-dimethyl ammonium chloride-2-butenyl]-?-tris(2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride; citrate, citric acid or a mixture thereof; and 0.005 wt. % to 0.05 wt. % hyaluronic acid. The method also includes (b) inserting the soaked contact lens into one's eye, and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b).
