Q&A: The latest lens care systems

Are there any new developments in contact lens care systems I should be aware of? I hear there are some new multipurpose solutions.

Nick Atkins replies: During this decade we have seen much change in the lens care field, including the introduction of new disinfectants, product withdrawals and newly identified clinical entities, as well as solution labelling, testing and regulatory issues. These are covered in detail in the first of a two-part review published this week.

For me, these developments mean that, as practitioners, many of us need to rethink the priority we place on lens care selection, patient-by-patient and lens-by-lens.
