No one can be expected to properly care for and clean their contacts if the very place used to store them is ineffective at maintaining the lenses properly. There are a myriad of lens cases to choose from. Most eye care practitioners suggest using a lens case with a screw cap or a snap cap to ensure the case stays closed. Contact lens cases that do not seal tightly present several problems, the most important of which is being susceptible to contamination. Any interference of germs, tap water deposits, or other foreign undesirables can lead to contamination and subsequent eye irritation or infection. In addition, a improperly fitting contact lens cap can cause leakage of disinfecting solution, leaving your contacts without the moisture they need to prevent drying out, and potentially causing unwanted stains on other belongings. Tips for using Contact Lens Cases Before placing your contacts in your lens case, make sure that the lens case is clean and is filled with clean disinfecting or storage solution. Regardless of how long you clean your lenses, they will never be completely clean if they're stored in an unclean location. Try to avoid getting tap water on your lens case, as tap water can carry Acanthamoeba, a microorganism that causes eye infections. Typical cleaning solutions kill this microorganism, but don't always kill it's cysts. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure when cleaning your contact lens case. When cleaning lens cases with tap hot, ensure that the water used is hot and carefully dry out the container before using it or storing it. Lens cases should be replaced frequently. Lens cases are not expensive, but are an important part of keeping your risk of eye infection and irritation to a minimum. Most manufacturers recommend changing contact lens cases every 1-3 months. There is a great variety of lens cases on the market today. From Aosept disposable cup system, to Iview mirrored lens cases, to the KabaClip multicolored cases, to I Cases in a variety of designs and logos, one can have great fun choosing the lens case that's right for them.
