CONTACT LENS CASE

A contact lens case 👓 is a must-have for storing and caring for your lenses. It’s used to hold your lenses in solution when you’re not wearing them. Here are some things to consider:

  • Type: Look for a case that’s easy to open, clean, and dry. Some cases have separate wells for each lens, while others have a single compartment.
  • Material: Most cases are made of plastic, but some are designed to be more hygienic or have antimicrobial properties.
  • Size: Choose a case that’s compact enough to fit in your bag or purse.

Some popular features include:

  • Screw-top or snap-on lids: Easy to use and secure.
  • Labelled compartments: Helps you keep track of which lens is which.
  • Ventilation: Some cases have vents to help dry the lenses or reduce bacterial growth.
CONTACT LENS APPLICATOR

A contact lens applicator 😎 is a handy tool that helps you put in (and sometimes take out) contact lenses, especially if you’re a newbie or have dexterity issues. Types include:

  • Sucker/plucker: A small tool with a suction cup that grips the lens.
  • Finger-tip applicator: A guide that fits on your finger to help position the lens.

They’re super useful if:

  • You’re struggling to handle tiny lenses
  • You have arthritis or finger issues
  • You’re helping someone else with lenses (like kids)
