How to properly store contact lenses is always a topic for wearer. Except for the daily throwing, all types of contact lenses will inevitably involve the problem of lens preservation. So, lets take a look at the contact lens requirements!
First of all, contact lenses dehydrated for a long time will deteriorate, so the storage lens must ensure sufficient moisture. However, not any liquid can be used to soak contact lenses, such as sea water, mineral water, tap water and so on will be because of the different osmotic pressure and the contact lenses more and more bubble, and pure water can not isolate bacteria, easy to cause lens pollution. Contact lens care solution is currently the only liquid that can be used to preserve contact lenses, and also belongs to medical devices, is absolutely can not be replaced at will.
Second, storing contact lenses must be isolated from bacteria. Nursing solution contains sterilization and disinfection ingredients, which can maintain the sterile environment when soaking contact lenses. However, due to the limited utility of nursing solution, if only the contact lenses are stored in the double box and not worn for a long time, it is necessary to replace the fresh nursing solution every two days to maintain its bactericidal effect. At the same time, the contact lens box should not be placed in the toilet, bathroom and other wet places, should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and can not be high temperature exposure.
Finally, contact lenses must also be hygienic, so items that have direct contact also need to be thoroughly disinfected. Items such as double boxes, small tweezers, wearing sticks and so on need not only to be cleaned and disinfected before use, but also washed and cleaned regularly every week. Even so, they should be replaced every three months. If you are used to wearing contact lenses with your fingers, be sure to clean your fingers, nails and dry them.
Proper storage of contact lenses can not only prolong the life of the lens, keep the lens clean, but more importantly, it is important to protect the eyes. Whenever there are dry, redness or pain symptoms, should immediately stop wearing, as appropriate, do not delay the condition.
