Contact Lens Cases

Just like everything else related to eyes and contact lenses, lens cases can harbor bacteria and promote infection. Because of this, these inexpensive handy compartments should be replaced every three to six months. On top of that, they should be cleaned on a daily basis.

Cleaning a contact lens case is very important. If they are not cleaned on a daily basis, bacteria will grow in the compartments and will then be transferred to a person’s eyes. When cleaning a lens case, it is very important to remember not to use tap water. Cases should only be rinsed with sterile, fresh contact lens solution.

Water should never be used to care for lens cases, because it frequently has bacteria of some sort in it. By rinsing a case with bacteria-infested water, the case doesn’t actually get cleaned. Using a bit of sterile solution, on the other hand, is much more likely to kill the bacteria and prevent new bacteria from being introduced during the cleaning process.

If, at any point, the contact lens case should become cracked or damaged in any way, immediately throw it out and get out a new one. Cracked or damaged cases do not prevent air from getting to the lenses. As this is true, they will allow the lens to dry out and to be exposed to bacteria and other harmful contaminants that are in the air.
