A solution for soft, hydrogel contact lenses includes a polyether that is controllably released into an eye's tear film when the lens is worn. Polyether components of the subject solution are released from the soft contact lens material matrix over long time periods to produce longer lasting wetting performance, improved lubricity, improved comfort, and/or reduced feeling of dryness from wearing contact lenses. The solution further includes a cationic polyelectrolyte. |
