Eyes are important and so are contact lenses. Contact lenses
are not just a fad but a daily life utility. Contact lenses have greater
purposes to serve than just personality grooming. Prescription
contact lenses have been helping people with various ocular diseases and
vision impairments. More than a fashion accessory, contact lenses should be
dealt as medical devices. Avid users of contact lenses take great concern when
it is about disinfecting contact lenses and handling them but what they neglect
is a contact lens case. A contact lens case is an evil bed of germs that if not
replaced on time may lead to a painful eye condition known as “Keratitis”.
Contact lens cases should be replaced every 3 months and
more frequently if with the onset of summer you begin suffering from ocular
allergies. During summer, doctors receive more patients of dry eye syndrome
than any other season. Since the lipid layer that is responsible to prevent
tears drying quickly is disturbed in summer, eyes get drier & make it
intolerable to wear contact lenses. During such conditions bacteria
accumulation is fastened up. What worse, ocular infections are often contagious
this is why one should never share contact lenses with friends.
When these bacterial infected contact lenses are soaked in
the same grubby contact lens cases over the period of time, the multiplication
of bacteria happens that is more devastating than you could imagine. The
bio-film; that is a slimy layer can be easily detected on the contact lens
cases & is a proof of contact lens case’s contamination.
Complimentary lens cases with your each purchase of contact
lenses come in handy but they shouldn’t be totally relied upon. Get good quality contact lens cases that
hold solution better and are leakage free for prevention from horrific
diseases. Prevention is better than cure.
