Which type of deposits are effectively managed by enzymes on contact lenses?

The correct answer is related to high levels of protein deposits on contact lenses. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can break down complex molecules into simpler forms. In the context of contact lenses, proteins from tears and other sources can accumulate on the lens surface, potentially leading to discomfort and vision issues.

Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed to target and break down these protein deposits. This is significant because protein buildup can lead to lens fogging, reduced oxygen permeability, and increased risk of eye infections. Using enzymatic solutions helps maintain lens clarity and comfort, crucial for effective lens wear.

The other types of deposits, such as fatty deposits, dust and debris, and mineral deposits, do not respond as effectively to enzymatic action. While cleaning products can address those issues, enzymatic cleaners are specifically formulated for protein, making the management of these deposits particularly efficient.
