Abstract
The kinetics and efficacy of moist heat disinfection for hydrophilic contact lenses were investigated by using representative microorganisms of ophthalmic concern and several heat-resistant species. In replicate challenges, 80 degrees C for 10 min and 75 degrees C for 5 min were proven efficacious for moist-heat disinfection.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
