Hello,
Contact dealer who sells the lens. Solution for cleaning contact should be available with him.
It can be cleaned and dehydrated and re-examined by doctor and can be used. It should be properly re-hydrated and used again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
