Clean the gonioscopy contact lens
The Lumenis Selecta contact lenses have a special low-reflectivity coating
bonded to the lens, and so must, therefore, be handled carefully. As soon as a
lens is removed from a patient’s eye, thoroughly rinse it in cold or warm water
to remove salts, mucous and gonioprism solution. Wash in warm water with a
few drops of clear dishwashing liquid, then rinse with cool water and blot dry.
Dry completely before storing it in the case.
Disinfect the gonioscopy contact lens
To effectively disinfect the lens:
1 Soak the lens in a solution of 2% glutaraldehyde (aqueous solution) for a
recommended exposure time of 20 minutes. Household bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) solution may be used instead, diluted 1 part bleach to 10 parts
water, with a recommended exposure of 10 minutes.
2 Rinse the lens thoroughly with cool water and blot dry.
3 Allow the lens to dry completely before storing in the case.
Sterilize the gonioscopy contact lens
To sterilize the gonioscopy contact lens:
1 Remove the lens from its case before sterilizing.
2 To sterilize, use ethylene oxide gas with aeration not to exceed 52° C (125° F),
following the sterilizer manufacturer’s recommendation.
Do not boil or autoclave a lens. Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or
acetone on a lens, as this will damage it and render it unusable
