Contact lenses are great substitutes for glasses. They’re easy to wear and can be almost invisible once properly fitted. But to enjoy the full benefits of contact lenses, it’s essential to keep them clean. This includes regularly cleaning the case where you store your lenses.

A clean lens case can help prevent eye infections, irritation, and discomfort. Here’s how to clean your case for contact lenses effectively:

1. Wash your hands

Before you start cleaning your contact lens case, ensure that your hands are clean. Use warm water and soap to wash your hands thoroughly. Dry your hands using a clean, lint-free towel.

2. Empty the old solution

Empty any remaining solution from the contact lens case. Use a lint-free towel or tissue to clean off any loose debris in the case.

3. Rinse the case

Rinse each of the wells of the contact lens case using a sterile saline solution. This solution helps to eliminate bacteria and germs that may be present in the case.

4. Scrub the case

Use a clean toothbrush or contact lens case brush to scrub each well of the case thoroughly. Pay attention to the interior surfaces where the contact lenses rest when not in use. Be gentle while scrubbing to prevent scratches in the case.

5. Rinse again

After scrubbing, rinse the case once more with sterile saline solution to remove any debris that may have been loosened during the scrubbing process.

6. Let the case air dry

Wipe the outside of the case with a lint-free towel, and then let the case air dry. Avoid using cloth towels to dry the case as they can introduce lint and bacteria that can contaminate the case.

7. Replace the case

Once the case is dry, put your contact lenses back in the well. Fill each well of the case with fresh contact lens solution before inserting your contact lenses. Remember to replace your contact lens case every two to three months or when you notice the case appearing worn out.

Conclusion

Cleaning your contact lens case is crucial to maintain your eye health and keep your contact lenses free from any bacteria and germs. Follow the above steps to clean the case effectively and prevent eye infections, irritation, and discomfort. Remember to clean your case with each new solution and replace every two to three months to maintain good hygiene.
