Zusammenfassung:Provided is an ophthalmic solution comprising 10 - 10,000 parts per million of a naturally-occurring microbicidal compound selected from allicin, aucubin, berberine, bilberry extract, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, echinacea extract, ferulic acid, hydrastine, lipoic acid, naringin, oleuropein, proanthocyanidins, quercetin and rutin. The solution may further comprise 1 - 100 parts per million of benzyldimethyl ä2-Ä2-(p-1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutylphenoxy) ethoxyÜethylü ammonium chloride. It has been found that the solution reduces the number and variety of pathogenic microorganisms that may infect rigid gas permeable or soft contact lenses.
