ABSTRACT:
A process for disinfecting soft contact lenses includes introducing disinfecting solution into a vessel that is at least partially formed of material transparent to microwave electromagnetic radiation, and placing the contact lenses into contact with the disinfecting solution within an interior portion of the vessel which is substantially shielded from microwave electromagnetic radiation. The vessel is closed and then subjected to microwave radiation to heat the disinfecting solution with which the lenses are in contact while the lenses themselves are shielded from the radiation. The radiation continues until the lenses are disinfected. Apparatus in accordance with the invention include the vessel, disinfecting solution and in accordance with one embodiment, lens holder apparatus comprising shielding material defining compartments that are receivable of the contact lenses which are in fluid communication with the surrounding interior of the vessel but which provide microwave radiation shielding.
