Thanks DrG,
The grease formed on my lenses (while wearing) can easily removed by rinsing
with saline solution, but they just turned greasy again within few minutes
after putting back on my eyes.
I never have this problem since I wore RGP more than 5 years ago and my
present lenses appear absolutely clean. I have tried different cleaner and
soaking/wetting solution as advised by the optometrist but don't work.
What is plasma treated CL? what is the brand name?
Thanks again. Alex.

[quote]Ocular prostheses - Products such as contact lenses and
intraocular lenses have been successfully modified by plasma treatment
to impart protein- and cell-repelling characteristics, decrease
bacterial adhesion, improve wettability and enhance patient comfort.
Also, an ammonia plasma treatment has been applied to artificial
corneas to enhance corneal epithelial cell attachment and growth.[/

I wear a plasma treated 'scleral' lens (made from the same material as
a Boston RGP lens). I don't have much to compare it to, but it seems
to work quite well.
