Abstract
The basic concepts associated with thermal disinfection of contact lenses are examined, and the mathematical models used to predict the probability of survival of micro-organisms are described and applied to common ocular pathogens. Based on the examination, a review of the Australian Standard for moist disinfection pf hydrogel contact lenses is recommended. The time-temperature profiles of several commercially available heat disinfection units are established, and their performance in comparison to both surrent and proposed standards is evaluated.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
