Although contact
lenses are not really "gadgets," these tiny optical devices appeal to the
whiz-kid mentality in most of us. This affinity for gizmos and gimmicks affects
most optomertrists, and nowhere is the assortment of gadgets more prevalent
than in the contact lens practice. So, here is an updated collection of my
favorite specialized devices than can easily solve problems you'll encounter
daily in your contact lens practice. |

1. The Cleaner Accessory Pad
Most patients can keep their rigid and soft lenses clean with
conventional cleaning methods For a few, however, lens deposits and coatings
are a challenge even though they regularly use surfactant and enzyme cleaners.
The Cleaner Accessory Pad, by Eaton Medicals Corporation, is a device that
enables these patients to safely polish soft and RGP lenses to remove surface
coatings. 
The patient simply puts a few drops of cleaning solution on the pad and rubs
the lens against it in a gentle, circular motion, first cleaning the inside and
then the outside. It can be used daily, weekly or monthly. The pad's mild
friction is an effective adjunct to the surfactant cleaner. The Cleaner comes
in packs of four from Eaton Medicals 1-800-253-5949
