The new LensAlert Contact Lens Care Kit Value Wheel makes it easy to remember when your contact lenses and lens case need to be replaced.
With the LensAlert timer, you can set two separate countdowns for your contacts and case. The display flashes “0” when it’s time for a change. Seven, colorful lens cases are also included in the kit.
Following a replacement schedule is important to reduce your risk for eye infections. The replacement schedule for your contact lenses is specified by your eye doctor.
Typically cases should be replaced at least every three months, although some doctors recommend once a month. If used for too long, lens cases can become hotbeds for bacteria and fungi.
The kit can be purchased online or at optical stores and retail outlets.
