How to Clean Contact Lenses With a Device

Cleaning contact lenses have become more manageable with a device that automatically cleans them. The device is clinically tested and proven to be three times more effective than standard finger rubbing cleansing and a lot safer. With finger rubbing, contact lenses can easily damage or break. The device removes more contaminants, such as minerals, make-up, shampoo, soap and other proteins that contribute to blurry vision, eye infections and lens damage, according to the Green Contact Lenses website.
