This paper reviews the ISO 14729 standard and applies it to marketed products. The historical significance, justifications, scope, interpretations, application, and worthiness are discussed. The standard provides a more consistent procedure and a higher standard for contact lens disinfectants. As a result, more effective contact lens disinfectants have been marketed.
