Things To Remember When Buying a Contact Lens Case
A contact lens case is a pretty simple product that’s suited for your daily needs, but getting a long-lasting and safe case is not always easy. With this in mind, here are some things you should look out for when purchasing a protective case for your contact lenses.
Engraved labeling
It's convenient for you to be able to differentiate between your right and left contact lens when they’re inside a case, and this isn't possible without a differentiating scheme. Mostly, this is done by labeling the caps with left and right symbols so you don't have to open both of the caps to get a single lens out. Similarly, this can also be achieved by using different color schemes for both caps.
Air-lock design
The perfect contact lens case should have an air-tight storage compartment to prevent solutions from leaking out or dust particles from getting inside. This is ensured with a top-screw design that can be removed easily by twisting the cap. While a flat-top design can do the same thing, flat-tops are more prone to spilling when you try to open the case, and you can even lose your contacts in the process.
Medical-grade plastic
This is an aspect of buying contact lens cases that are often ignored, but it is extremely important. Impure plastics can host bacteria and germs that can stick to your contact lenses and cause infections in your eye. It’s always better to look for high-quality or medical-grade plastic in order to keep your contacts and eyes safer!
When To Replace a Contact Lens Case
All over the world, doctors and professional health practitioners advise people to replace their contact lens cases at least every three months. This is mainly because continued submerging in saline solution can cause microscopic algae buildup which can get on your contacts and ultimately in your eyes.
