Abstract
The present invention is an eye preparation comprising a hydrophobic composition adapted for use on a contact lens inserted into a patient'"'"'s eye and having a viscosity of 1 to 15,000 centistokes. The composition includes a silicone polymer, fluorinated silicone polymer, fluorocarbon polymer, fluorinated alcohol, or perfluorinated polyether composition, singly or blended, adapted to coat at least a portion of a contact lens inserted in a patient'"'"'s eye. Silicone polymers for use in the invention include dimethicone, cyclomethicone, and silicone gums.
