See What Is Living In Your Contact Lense Travel Case

People who wear contact lenses are usually pretty rigid when it comes to taking care of their lenses. Making sure they are cleaned on a daily basis, keeping them free of bacteria and protein buildup is part of their daily routine. Most will often store them overnight in case with the right solution and have a separate contact lense travel case for the times they are not spending the night at home. What many contact wearers may not realize is that the lense cases, both ones they keep at home and their contact lense travel case may be riddles with bacteria that has been washed off their contacts.

While a contact lense travel case can be designed to fit your personal lifestyle, such as being embellished with images that match your frequently traveled destinations, the need to keep them clean is paramount to maintaining good eye health. Typically, a person will remove one contact lens, clean it and rinse it to remove any bacteria and protein, place it in their contact lense travel case and then repeat the process with the other lens.

In the morning, they will rinse their lenses and place them back into their eyes, dump the liquid out of the contact lense travel case and move on with their lives. That night, they repeat the process, with little attention being paid to what microscopic organisms may be alive and well in their case.

Tap Water May Not be Best Ringing Medium

Too many people use water from their tap to rinse their contacts and while traveling place their contact lense travel case under running water to rinse it out. No matter how clear the water may appear, there is always the possibility of small bacteria living in the water and when it gets in the case, it can easily be transferred to the contacts, which will then go into the eyes the next morning.

Keeping the contact lense travel case clean and dry is part of the process of insuring the lenses remain clean. Since many of the designer contact lense travel cases can cost up to around $50, it is usually advised that less expensive ones be used when traveling and they be discarded up returning home.

Many eye doctors recommend using an inexpensive contact lense travel case and discarding them after each trip. Many also recommend that all contact lens cases be replaced at least every three months, and some go so far as to recommend replacement every month to avoid bacteria build up in the case from getting back on the lenses.
