Abstract
Contact lenses are both cleaned and disinfected in aqueous solutions of proteolytic enzyme in a single-step by heating to a temperature of between 60.degree. and 100.degree. C. The cleaning and disinfecting process which may be conducted in one hour or less performs favorably against conventional methods wherein cleaning and disinfecting are conducted separately over a time period of up to twelve hours.
