This International Standard specifies a method for evaluating the potential of products for contact lens disinfection to induce encystment of Acanthamoeba species. This method excludes the evaluation of oxidative systems that require a special lens case for use. This International Standard does not address the evaluation of disinfection efficacy of contact lens disinfecting products.
