How to Remove Protein Deposits From Disposable Contacts
Protein deposits are a natural byproduct of wearing contact lenses. The protein excretes from tear ducts around the eyes and over time accumulates on the contact lens. A hazy film can build up, making it difficult to see through the lenses. Removing protein deposits daily will keep lenses clean and ready for use. The best time to clean lenses is overnight, while the user is sleeping, or whenever the lenses will not be worn for at least 6 hours.
