Zusammenfassung

Der Autor stellt die Standards der Prüfung biozider Wirksamkeit von Reinigungs-Desinfektions-Kombi-Lösungen (RDK-Lösungen) vor. Er untersucht anhand von Literaturrecherchen, ob die im Internet fortgeschriebene Tabelle des Optometristen Gary Andrasko über die Verträglichkeit von Kombinationen auf dem Markt befindlicher Kontaktlinsen (KL) mit gebräuchlichen RDK-Lösungen mittels Wertung oberflächlicher Anfärbbarkeit nutzbar ist. Er stellt die von Andrasko verwendete Methode und die Wissenschaftlichkeit seines Vorgehens anhand verschiedener Kriterien infrage und verneint die Verwertbarkeit der Tabelle. Er empfiehlt die Beachtung der Pflegeanweisungen der Kontaktlinsen produzierenden Firmen.

Abstract

The author presents the standards for testing the biocidal effectiveness of combined cleaning disinfection solutions (RDK solutions). By means of literature searches it was investigated whether the updated table of the optometrist Gary Andrasko in the internet is usable with respect to compatibility of combinations of commercially available contact lenses and commonly used RDK solutions by assessment of surface dye affinity. The methods used by Andrasko and the scientific basis of his approach are questioned based on various criteria and the value of the table is negated. The instructions for care given by the manufacturers of contact lenses are recommended.
