Abstract: A lens care container (1), in particular for contact lenses such as hard or soft contact lenses, comprises:



a receptacle (2) for receiving a lens and a lens care liquid,
a cap (3) configured to be attached to the receptacle (2) to close the receptacle (2),
a sensor (5) configured to indicate an actual loading of the container (1) with germs or configured to indicate a pH value of the lens care liquid in the receptacle (2).




The sensor (5) is arranged in the receptacle (2) when the cap (3) is attached to the receptacle (2).

Abstract: The invention is generally related to a process for producing a relatively high molecular weight poly(methacrylic acid) (“PMAA”) in a water-based system. The process of the invention comprises polymerization of from about 1% to about 20% by weight of methacrylic acid in water or a water-based system in the presence of thiol compound and an azo radical initiator under controlled reaction and process conditions. A process of the invention can be easily scaled up into the pilot scale for producing large quantities of high molecular weight PMAAs. The invention is also related to high molecular weight poly(methacrylic acid)s obtained according to a process of the invention.
