1. A composition effective for disinfecting a contact lens comprising:
- a liquid aqueous medium;
a disinfectant component present in said liquid aqueous medium in an amount effective to disinfect a contact lens contacted with said composition; and
an inositol phosphate component present in said liquid aqueous medium in an amount effective to remove proteinaceous deposit material from a contact lens contacted with said composition, said composition being free of TYPE II endoglycosidase.

- 14. A composition comprising at least one solid article including an inositol phosphate component which is soluble in a liquid aqueous medium used to contact a contact lens in cleaning the contact lens and an enzyme component effective to remove proteinaceous deposit material from a contact lens in an amount effective to remove proteinaceous deposit material from the contact lens contacted with a liquid medium containing said composition in released form, said composition being free of TYPE II endoglycosidase.
-
20. A method for cleaning a contact lens comprising contacting a proteinaceous deposit material-containing contact lens with a composition comprising a liquid aqueous medium and an inositol phosphate component present in a solubilized form in said liquid aqueous medium in an amount effective to remove proteinaceous deposit material from a contact lens in contact with said composition, said contacting occurring at conditions effective to remove proteinaceous deposit material from said proteinaceous deposit-containing contact lens, said composition being free of TYPE II endoglycosidase.
