What about keeping my lens case clean – surely this is important?
Lens case hygiene is one of
the most frequently overlooked aspects of lens hygiene. On
lens insertion, contact lens cases must be emptied of
solution, rinsed with fresh disinfecting solution and left to
air dry on a daily basis. A dry case is important as microbes
cannot multiply in dry conditions. Cases should be replaced
frequently, ideally monthly.
Your optometrist will give you more information on the
importance of following proper cleaning procedures. If you
properly follow your optometrist's recommendations, you will
enjoy the convenience and clear vision of your contact lenses
without any interruptions because of an eye infection.
