Is it safe to boil my contact lens case?

Question

I never thoroughly clean my contact lens case. So I kind of feel like there is bacteria growing in it and its getting in my eye because lately I've noticed some discomfort while wearing my lenses. I heard somewhere that you can boil contact lens cases to clean them well. Is this true? If not, can you please tell me a good way to thoroughly deep clean my contact lens case? Please answer this. Thank you.

Answer 1

I've never boiled my contact lens case for fear of damaging the seal. Instead, I've let a pot of water come to a boil & then let my contact lens case soak in the hot water for a few minutes.

You can also rinse your lens case under warm running water & rub the surface w/ your fingers. Then use your contact lens sterilizing solution to soak it.

The easiest thing to do is to replace the case every 3-6 months.

Answer 2

you need to purely carry the case with a pair of tongs and pour boiling water over it from a kettle. you do no longer might desire to boil the case in a pot on the range. Or in case you prefer to apply a pot on the range, purely dip the case some seconds with tongs to hold it...that is lots. warm faucet water and somewhat dishsoap could be purely as efficient.
