Choosing a Contact Lens Case With so many different styles of contact lens cases out there, it can be difficult to make the right choice of contact lens storage! The type of contact lens case that you should use depends on the type of contact lenses that you wear. Some cases are only suitable for soft lenses and others are only suitable for hard or RGP lenses. The most popular categories of contact lens cases are: screw-top, flip-top, barrel and travel. Within each category are various different styles, shapes, sizes and colours. Screw-top contact lens cases are also known as flat or side-by-side cases and are the most popular type of case. They are very versatile and are suitable for all types of contact lenses. They often have shallow wells to help minimise the amount of solution used and are usually leak-proof. Flip-top cases are less widely available and tend to have one standard design. They are suitable for both soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) or hard lenses, but are mainly recommended for RGP/hard lenses. The lids lift up so are especially suitable for people who have difficulty un-screwing the lids on screw-top cases, and the lids only lift in one direction There are two main types of barrel contact lens cases - standard and opticase. Standard barrel cases, such as Blue Barrel Contact Lens Case and Fun in the Sun Barrel Contact Lens Case are much easier to find and are only suitable for soft lenses. They should not be used for hard/rgp lenses as they can cause them to become cracked or damaged. Travel contact lens cases are a convenient way of keeping your contact lens essentials in one place, and are great for travelling. Contents will vary between cases, but they generally contain a mirror, screw-top contact lens case, tweezers and solution bottle(s) that can be filled with a solution of your choice. They are many different styles of each type of case out there, and so it is important that you choose the right one for your lenses. |
