Daily Care for Contact Lenses - Don't Overlook the Cleaning of the Lens Case

As an accessory for contact lenses, the lens case is delicate and compact, making it convenient to carry around, and it is an indispensable tool for many beauty lens enthusiasts. The lens case generally contains a dual-compartment box, small tweezers, a insertion/removal tool, and sometimes even a small mirror and a bottle for storing lens solution. While you may already be familiar with the daily cleaning and care of contact lenses, have you overlooked the cleaning of the lens case?

The contact lens case stores the lenses every day, often in a humid environment. Even with regular replacement of lens solution, it is still prone to bacterial growth. Placing it in damp places like the bathroom or shower room exacerbates the situation. If not cleaned thoroughly, it can lead to lens contamination and even eye infections.

Therefore, cleaning the lens case is essential. Rinse the dual-compartment box and small tools with lens solution every day. Avoid using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or other disinfectants, as residual solution may damage the lenses. Also, refrain from using tap water for cleaning to prevent microbial contamination.

For newly opened lens cases, they should be rinsed with boiling water, air-dried naturally, and optionally sun-dried if possible before use. During subsequent use, it is advisable to sterilize and disinfect with boiling water once or twice a week. Do not use other containers as substitutes for the lens case to avoid reactions between their materials and the lens solution.

EyeCoo reminds you that the usage period of contact lens cases is generally three months. While cultivating good cleaning habits, do not forget to replace the lens case and the tools inside it in a timely manner. Safeguarding the cleanliness of the lenses is safeguarding the health of your eyes!
