Hyaluronic acid as a helpful ingredient
Hyaluron is a substance produced naturally in the body that is already being used in many different ways in medicine and cosmetics. Meanwhile there are manufacturers who incorporate hyaluron in the salt form of hyaluronic acid, as hyaluronate, into contact lens material due to its material water-binding properties. This is intended to ensure that the contact lens provides continuous moisture to the eye without removing moisture from the eye itself when it evaporates. It is important to store these gel contact lenses in hyaluronan-containing care products for cleaning and disinfection, since only in this way can the hyaluron storage of the lenses be maintained and the advantages of the special contact lens material be enjoyed continuously. However, hyaluron-containing care products are also suitable for cleaning, disinfection and care of all other contact lenses, as this can improve the compatibility when wearing contact lenses.
