Help-fungal growth on contact lens


Yes I use Bausch and Lomb.

My contacts when examined under my microscope show fungal growth IN the lens that doesn't wash off. My eye doctor says that the lens solutions on the market can not kill the fungus in the lens. It is worse on older lenses, it's worse when I eat Sugar (of course) and it builds up during the day. By the evening I have to wash the lens to get the excess off so I can see.

I have noticed this for 2 years, and the last time I got replacement lens I used new solution, new storage etc but the new lenses became contaminated anyway. So I am sure I've had this problem on 3 consecutive lens sets and probably more. I think also now that I have gas permeable (10-15 years) lenses that they are softer for the fungus to grow on.

Any suggestions for lens solutions? Any suggestions on how to disinfect the lens without damaging the lens?

What solutions are considered bad?
