Contact Lens Care: Proper way to clean contact lens cases

Contact lens cases need to be properly and regularly cleaned to reduce

the likelihood of your contact lenses from contamination by harmful

bacteria.  The simple steps below would help you minimise this risk.

Before using any contact lens case for the first time, you should clean the inside

surfaces of the case thoroughly with warm soapy water to remove any residual

resin left behind by the manufacturing/moulding process.  You should then follow

the quick four-step cleaning process described below immediately after and then

at least once a week thereafter:

    1. Make sure your hands are clean then rinse the inside surfaces

        of the case with multi-purpose/disinfecting contact lens solution.

    2. Rub the inside surfaces of the case with your finger.

    3. Wipe the inside surfaces with a tissue.

    4. Air dry the case with the inside surfaces facing downward.
