You might be surprised at the finding of a recent study: "Different disinfecting solutions used during storage of silicone hydrogel lenses result in different levels and types of contamination." That's the report on the OSN Super Site. "The unnamed study examined 232 participants wearing one or more of three silicone hydrogel lenses and using one or more of four contact lens solutions. At one month follow-up, between 76% and 92% of all cases were contaminated. Researchers found use of different contact lenses did not affect the contamination rate or the types of microbes," reports the site, home of several ocular journals.Go to the site for more details.

A similar study was concluded about two years ago in Israel with similar results.
