Contact Lens Cases
Using the right, tightly sealed, contact lens case for your contacts is a
vital part of properly caring for contact lenses. 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.

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.
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.
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. |
