Contact lens case cleaning precautions:

1. Contact lens boxes are used every day as lens storage boxes. The lens boxes are often damp, which is a potential source of infection. If the lens storage box is kept damp and unclean for a long time, it is easy for bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa to grow, which in turn infects the lenses, causing itching, redness, swelling and other eye discomfort after wearing. Generally speaking, contact lenses need to be rinsed with care solution every day, the companion box should be disinfected (with boiling water) once a week, and a new companion box should be replaced every three months.

Second, it should be noted that you cannot use tap water to clean the contact lens case. Tap water contains many chemical components that are harmful to contact lenses, and there are bacteria and other microorganisms in tap water. You can rinse it with boiling water, let it air dry naturally after rinsing, and then use it after it is air-dried. Also, do not place the contact lens case in a humid environment such as the bathroom, as it is easy to breed bacteria.
