available
Love your contacts? Then you'll probably love accessories for contact
lenses, too. Read on to learn more about these affordable, and sometimes
very necessary, products.
What accessories for contact lenses are available?
Lens accessories include:
- Contact lens
cases. A variety of case styles and colors are available.
And, since you need a lens case to store and properly protect
your lenses, this accessory is a must.
- Lens inserters and removers. Contact lens inserters and removers
help you place and remove your contacts. These tweezer-like instruments
also keep dirt and debris from being transferred from your fingertips
to your lenses, which helps to keep eyes healthy.
- Solutions and cleaners. Contact lens solutions and cleansers
are necessary to keep your eyes healthy and your lenses in good
condition. Your eye professional will advise you on the proper
solutions and cleaners to use with your lenses.
- Drain guards. You can prevent lens loss by using drain guards.
These guards are inexpensive, but they can save you from a costly
slip-up.
- Hand soaps. Hand soaps specifically designed for contact lens
wearers are available. These soaps help clean hands prior to lens
handling and contain no oils or perfumes, which are often found
in regular hand soaps and can irritate eyes and damage lenses.
Where can I purchase contact lens accessories?
Contact lens
accessories are available from your eye care professional, in stores
and online. It's wise to shop around for competitive prices.
