Contact Lens Travel Case Care
Your contact lenses require a lot of attention. They need the right cleaning solution to wipe away proteins and bacteria that accumulate on your lenses during the course of the day. They need the proper contact lens travel case to make sure they are safe and sound while they are being cleaned. You need extra prescriptions in case you lose the ones you are currently using. And you need a extra contact lens travel case in case you lose your active one.
That’s a to worry about when it comes down to two slim discs of plastic that you slide into your eyes. Many people before they get contacts claim that their reason for not using them is the fear of touching their eyes. Find a seasoned contact lens pro, though, and they have no fear poking their eye. Their real concern – and the one reason they would ever give up their contacts – is the constant care contact lenses, a contact lens travel case, and cleaning solutions require on a daily basis.
Not taking care of your contact lenses and properly cleaning them in their contact lens travel case is a big deal. Not only can it lead to very uncomfortable contact lenses, the kind that feel like they’re scratching your eyes raw every time you blink. But improperly cleaned lenses can lead to infections, even blindness.
Luckily for all us modern day contact lens wearers, contact lens care is relatively a cinch compared to what it used to be. First, scientists came up with the multipurpose, one-bottle cleaning solution systems, which meant you no longer needed to be a chemist to work together the chemicals in your contact lens travel case. Plus, doctors invented the disposable contact lenses, which meant that your investment in contact care took up less time, money, and difficulty than it did before.
The basics of cleaning your contacts in a contact lens travel case are simple. First, wash your hands before removing the lenses from your eyes or their case. Try to avoid moisturizing soaps when you do this, because they’re not beneficial for contact lenses, and try to dry your hands on a lint-free towel. Then simply remove one lens, place it in the case, and spray. Depending on whether you are using a no-rub solution or not, you may need to also rub the lens with your fingertips to properly clean it. Repeat for the other lens. And then let them sit for at least four hours.
