ABSTRACT:
Disinfecting solutions for use with hydrophilic soft contact lenses, containing effective amounts of C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 fatty acids, especially octanoic acid, are disclosed. These solutions provide broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy together with rapid and complete desorption of the fatty acid antimicrobial from the contact lens material, resulting in a minimization of irritation and sensitization risks to the user. The method of disinfecting hydrophilic soft contact lenses using C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 fatty acids is also disclosed.
