The Contact Lens Case: A Vital Accessory for Your Contacts

You decide to buy a pair of contacts and start using them immediately. Guess what you need as soon as the night falls – a contact lens case. Without your contact lens case you will not be able to store the contacts safely after removing them at night; and if this is not done, there are great chances that some type or another of bacteria might get settled on them, and when you put them back on your eyes the mucus can enter your body. This is how eye infections can begin.


The Dangers and Possibilities

The contact lens case is one of the most vital accessories of the contacts you are wearing. The contacts will need to be washed/ cleaned every day or more often if you had moved in a dusty, polluted and/ or dirty area. After cleaning the lenses, you either have to wear them or store them carefully in their case. Hence, if you do not have the case, you will be forced to keep the lenses unprotected and this can create serious trouble for your eyes.

The lenses can get too dry and irritate your eyes
The lenses could get infected
The lenses could get hard
The lenses could fall and get lost without you knowing it
The lenses can become dirty and unhygienic


Carry a Spare Contact Lens Case

I have a friend who had changed fifteen cases in the course of a fortnight, two times loosing the case with the lenses inside. There are people who are forgetful and quite careless about where and how they care for their things. These people tend to loose small things faster. If you count yourself among this bracket, it is always good to carry one or even two spare cases with you. In this way, if you misplace one, you will still have the spare one available.

It cannot be stressed enough the importance of taking good care of your lenses during use. You should actually read the manual of instructions carefully and do exactly as they advise especially in matter of hygiene and maintenance of the lens. Any deviation will not only harm you but also clear the company from any responsibility for damage done to your eyes. In other words, having a contact lens case can make the difference between good eye health and incompetence in terms of eye care.
