Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of a lipase-containing composition for cleansing soft contact lenses, a water-soluble solid contact lens care composition and the use of a lipase as a means for removing metabolic deposits on or in a soft contact lens or assisting cleaning of the soft contact lens in a water-soluble, solid contact lens care products.
- contact lenses are still very popular with people with ill health.
- a problem with the use of contact lenses is still their proper care.
- a variety of different systems are known, which have in common that a disinfection of the contact lens after wearing the contact lens, usually overnight, whereby the disinfection is effected by chemical agents that must be neutralized due to their aggressive properties before the contact lens can be worn again.
- a variety of care products has prevailed in the market, such.
- As an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution as a disinfecting solution which is neutralized or decomposed by downstream stages.
- a combined contact lens care product which both disinfects and cleans the contact lenses.
- the disinfection takes place here by means of a solution of hydrogen peroxide and a protease which is active in peroxide-containing solution.
- a protease Subtilisin is called.
- the removal of metabolic deposits, particularly protein deposits, on or in the contact lens matrix is extremely important, as these deposits lead to changes in the lens matrix, ranging from changes in optical properties to inflammation.
- EP 009374 already describes tablets for the cleaning of contact lenses, which contain trypsin, alpha-amylase and a lipase.
- WO 98/37921 A1 relates to a contact care agent which, in addition to a peroxide-degrading enzyme such as catalase, contains the protease subtilisin and liberates these enzymes in an aqueous solution for the purpose of cleaning contact lenses.
- a peroxide-degrading enzyme such as catalase
- WO 03/013621 A describes systems for cleaning contact lenses, which may contain proteases, lipases and amylases.
- WO 01/54834 A1 discloses the use of pancreatin, which is a multienzyme complex and has proteolytic, lipolytic and amylolytic activities.
- EP 0279401 A2 discloses the use of pancreatic lipase as well as microbiological lipases for the removal of deposits in contact lenses.
- WO 79/00963 A1 discloses the use of lipolytic enzymes for cleaving lipids into fatty acids and alcohols.
- cholesterol deposits have proven to be persistent.

- Figures 3A to C show results of treatment of with cholesteric rinablagerungen soiled contact lens with the contact lens care products according to the invention compared to a commercially available contact lens care products (EverClean ®, Avizor, Spain) having no lipase according to the invention composition.
- the use of the composition takes place in a simple manner in that it acts in aqueous solution on the contact lenses to be cleaned.
- the aqueous solution is advantageously buffered to aid the activity of the lipase.
- the ionic strength of the solution can be adjusted in particular by the buffer salts or other constituents present in such a way that it does not impair the activity of the lipase, but advantageously it optimizes it.
- the buffer salts for adjusting a pH which is favorable for the activity of the lipase can be present in an aqueous phase into which the composition to be used according to the invention is added.
- composition to be used according to the invention is itself present in an aqueous phase, it can be added to the contact lens to be cleaned, which is regularly present in media which are essentially physiological and correspond to the environment of the tear fluid.
- the composition of the invention may also be in solid form, such as in tablet form.
- the lipase is formulated galenically in a form familiar to the person skilled in the art.
- the lipase can be formulated in physiologically acceptable solids used for the formulation of lyophilized proteins, especially water-soluble sugars, for example in tablet form.
- the tablet matrix can then also contain substances that can serve to adjust the pH and the ionic strength.
- the latter comprises, in particular in tablet form, the components catalase, sodium chloride, buffer salts relevant to the person skilled in the art and formulation auxiliaries, such as granulating agents.
- formulation auxiliaries such as granulating agents.
- further enzymes for example proteases, such as subtilisin, or amylases, may also be present in the composition. This applies to both liquid and solid formulations of the composition according to the invention.
- the lipase is typically present in an amount of from 0.1 mg to 1.5 mg per tablet, especially 0.4 mg per tablet.
- the catalase may typically be present in an amount of 0.02-2 mg per tablet.
- Subtilisin may be present in an amount of 0.05-5 mg per tablet.
- lipase is known for example under the name AY30, Cas no. 9001-62-1, Acros Organic commercially available lipase.
- the tablet described in WO 98/37921 A1 is particularly suitable for formulating the composition according to the invention.
- the invention therefore also provides a water-soluble, solid contact lens care agent 1 having at least a first compartment 2 and a second compartment 3 comprising in the first compartment 2 at least one means for removing or assisting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens and in the second compartment 3 contains at least one agent capable of neutralizing a contact lens disinfectant solution, wherein the first compartment 2 is dissolved more rapidly in the contact lens disinfectant solution as the second compartment 3 and that both compartments 2, 3 are simultaneously exposable to the contact lens disinfectant solution.
- the contact lens care agent is characterized in that the means for removing or assisting the cleaning of cholesterol-containing metabolic deposits on a contact lens is a lipase, in particular the lipase with the Enzyme Commission number 3.1.1.3, which is obtainable from Candida rugosa.
- a contact lens care agent is preferred, which is characterized in that two compartments 2, 3 are present.

- a composition according to the invention in tablet form with 0.4 mg lipase (AY30, Cas No. 9001-62-1, Acros Organic, Thermo Fisher Scientific Geel, Belgium) in addition to subtilisin was compared with a per se known composition without lipase (EverClean , Manufacturer: Avizor (Madrid, Spain)), but otherwise the same ingredients tested for their suitability to achieve an increased cleaning performance compared to the known composition without lipase.
- Biofinity / Comfilcon A contact lenses (No 1, Fig. 3A and No 7, Fig. 3B) were worn for 30 days and cleaned with EverClean (commercial combination solution).
- composition according to the invention in addition to the proteins, which are deposited from the metabolism during wear from the lacrimal environment on the contact lens surface into its matrix; also removes cholesterol deposits.
- a final step neutralizes the 3% peroxide used in the carrier solution to saline for disinfection.
- a final step usually involves an indicator which, after the elapsed neutralization process, stains the carrier liquid yellow for safety.
- the cleaning time is 2 hours and is auto-active, so additional cleaning and manual handling, which can affect the contact lens surface, can be avoided.
- the integrity and daily cleansing and regeneration of the contact lens surface preserves the health of the anterior segment of the eye and are important criteria in contact lens care.
