Contact Lens Case

Your contact lens case is almost as important as your contact lenses themselves, when it comes to your eye health. Your contact lens case should be as clean as your contacts. You’ll want to make sure you take good care of your contact lens case, as any bacteria or dirt that gets in your contact lens case can easily wind up in your eyes!

People typically don’t care for their contact lens cases as well as they should. They typically let dirt and debris build up on the cases, until they’re good and ready to give their cases a bath. People often leave the contact lens solution in their cases for weeks on end without cleaning it out and starting fresh. They think they can get away with keeping the old contact lens solution in their cases for days, because they haven’t noticed any problems with their eyes or their contact lenses.

Contact Lens Case

Proper procedure for caring for your contact lens case includes cleaning your contact lens case each time you remove your contacts from it and put them in your eyes. Once your contacts are in your eyes, you should wash your contact lens case with warm water, brushing away all dirt and debris. You want to make sure your contact lens case looks fresh and clean and ready for your contacts at the end of the day.

Once you have cleaned your contact lens case after putting your contacts in your eyes, you’ll want to let it air out and dry out. You want to let it dry out thoroughly, before you put new saline solution or contact lens solution in your contact lens case.

Then, at the end of the day, when you’re ready to put your contacts back in your contact lens case, you’ll want to put the fresh saline or contact lens solution in your contact lens case and insert your contacts.

Case Contact Lens

Your contact lens case is meant to act as a sterile environment to rejuvenate your contact lenses at the end of the day. By soaking them in the proper saline solution in a clean contact lens case, you’re allowing your contact lenses to soak up fresh sterile saline. Contact lenses are typically made of more than 50 percent water. They get this water from the saline solution you have in your contact lens cases. It’s important to keep your contact lens cases sterile.
