How to disinfect the contact lens box

Colored contact lenses are the contact lenses we wear frequently, and their lenses are usually placed in a special box. We only clean the contact lenses each time and ignore the disinfection of the contact lens boxes. In fact, it is very important to disinfect the contact lens box. At the same time, the contact lens box needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time. The contact lens box must be disinfected by rinsing with boiling water, and then let it dry naturally. Do not wipe it with other things.

A contact lens box is a tool specifically used to store contact lenses. It is also an essential care product during the use of contact lenses. The maintenance of cosmetic contact lenses is not just about the lenses themselves. All objects that come into contact with the cosmetic contact lenses need to be kept clean at all times. It is very important to clean the contact lens box. Today I will briefly analyze with you how to clean the contact lens box.

First of all, the issue of cleaning the contact lens boxes. There are many styles of contact lens boxes on the market, but their basic functions are similar. The contact lens box comes with a double box, plastic silicone-tipped tweezers, a small mirror, a white wearing stick, and more. Double boxes are generally used to store lenses and care solutions. Generally, there are different words to distinguish them. L stands for the left eye and R stands for the right eye, so that you can better distinguish them when you wear them in the future. The small tweezers can also be used to clamp the lens during the care process, which is very convenient for everyone to operate.

Secondly, as a small tool for storing lenses, the contact lens box is usually in a damp state. If it is not cleaned regularly, it can easily lead to the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which in turn can cause lens infection. Wearing lenses can also easily cause discomfort symptoms such as inflammation, redness and swelling. Therefore, the contact lens box must be properly cleaned and generally needs to be rinsed with fresh care solution, and the contact lens box should be replaced every three months.

Finally, I need to remind you that you should never use tap water to clean the contact lens boxes. Because tap water contains more bacteria, these bacteria can easily cause infection to the lenses. Therefore, the contact lens box must be rinsed with boiling water, disinfected, and then air-dried to ensure the cleanliness of the contact lens box in the future.

If you don’t have time to clean the contact lens case, it is recommended that you clean or replace it every two to three months. Or you can use boiling water to clean the contact lens box every week, which can also better prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the box. Therefore, for the health of your eyes, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the contact lens box.
