ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for disinfecting a contact lens comprise a container having an inner surface and being sized to hold a contact lens to be disinfected and a liquid medium containing hydrogen peroxide; a substrate located in the container; and a metal component deposited from a vapor medium on the substrate. The metal component is present in an amount effective to promote the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the container.
