Where reuse is necessary, moist heat management ispreferred over chemical management whenever applicable. The manufacturer shall provide instructions for the hygienic management of multipatient use trialcontact lenses appropriate to the type of lens being used. The instructions shall include advice on the process to be applied and on how to maintain the processedcontact lens in...
