Because contact lenses are cheap and more convenient than ordinary frame glasses, more and more people wear contact lenses, but those who wear contact lenses must be inseparable from the contact lens box. Once the cover of the contact lens box is opened, bacteria will easily come to the door, thus increasing the risk of eye infection. Therefore, if the contact lenses are not worn temporarily, they should be cleaned and disinfected and stored in a contact lens box containing contact lens care solution or sterile normal saline for closed storage to prevent lens pollution and drying.

How often do I change the contact lens case?

Generally speaking, if there is no time for maintenance, Xiaobian recommends that you change it every 2 to 3 months. If you scald it with hot water, clean it with neutral lotion and dry it every week, you can change it every six months.
In addition, it should be noted that if the contact lenses are not worn temporarily, they should be cleaned and disinfected and stored in the contact lens box containing contact lens care solution or sterile normal saline for closed storage to prevent lens pollution and drying, but the lens box should also be cleaned in time. At the same time, for the sake of hygiene, the contact lens box should not be placed in the bathroom and other places that are damp and easy to mildew and breed bacteria.
Note: each contact lens case is marked with "L" and "R", which respectively mean left and right, so that users can distinguish between the left and right lenses.

How to clean and disinfect the contact lens box?
1、 Clean and disinfect the mirror box with boiled water to ensure that bacteria can be completely removed.
2、 When cleaning, the contact lens box, clip and tweezers need to be handled separately.
3、 After cleaning, let the mirror box dry naturally, and ensure that it can be used after drying.
4、 When using, it is best to rinse with fresh nursing solution to ensure the pH balance of contact lenses.
It is worth noting that when cleaning the contact lens box, only boiled water and nursing solution are used, and tap water can not be used directly. Tap water contains many chemicals harmful to contact lenses, and some bacteria and microorganisms in tap water will also infect the lens, so do not use tap water for cleaning.
Contact lens cases generally need to be cleaned and disinfected once a week. They need to be rinsed with nursing solution every day and replaced every three months. And the majority of female compatriots, if you make up, remember not to put the contact lens box in the makeup bag to avoid infection.
