A composition for disinfecting a contact lens comprising an effective disinfecting
amount of hydrogen peroxide and a surfactant comprising a copolymer of hydrophobe
and hydrophile blocks the structure:
HO-(hydrophobe)x-(hydrophile)y-(hydrophobe)x-H
or
HO-(hydrophile)y-(hydrophobe)x-(hydrophile)y-H
where x and y are integers reflecting the respective hydrophile and hydrophobe
blocks of said copolymer; and the hydrophile component of the block copolymer constitutes
less than 50 weight percent of the block copolymer. The block copolymer has a Ross-Miles
foam height (ASTM designation D-1173-53; 0.1%, at 50 C.) of less than 1 mm.
