Contact lens cases

gwen80

Hi

This might be a slightly odd question, but how often do other people change their contact lens case?

I wear monthly contact lenses and get cases with my solution, but at the moment I seem to have loads of solution and no cases. I can't find cases to buy seperately anywhere and I'm considering buying some online, but then I think it's just a load of plastic which will end up in a landfill. How long can I use a contact lens case for and how should I properly clean it so that I don't end up with an eye infection or is it totally necessary to use a new one every month?

Thanks

New with every solution bottle, which lasts 6-7 weeks.

change of solution = change of case for me. You can get cases in boots or just ask whoever supplies you with contacts if they have any cases going, we usually have loads from the companies that supply our lenses that we're happy to hand out to loyal customers.
