How to Use Ultrasonic Cleaner for Contact Lenses

Quick answer

Using an ultrasonic contact lens cleaner is simple: place your lenses in the cleaning case, fill with solution, run a cycle, then rinse and store. The key is following the correct order and avoiding common mistakes like overfilling or using the wrong solution.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Device and Lenses: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Remove your contact lenses and place each one in the designated left/right basket of the ultrasonic cleaner case. Always handle lenses with clean, dry fingers to avoid transferring oils or debris.
2. Fill with Fresh Solution: Pour fresh multipurpose contact lens solution into the cleaning chamber until each lens is fully submerged. Do not overfill – leave a small air gap to allow the ultrasonic waves to work effectively. Never use tap water, saline, or expired solution. Overfilling can reduce cleaning efficiency.
3. Run the Cleaning Cycle: Close the lid securely and press the power button. The ultrasonic cleaner will run a cycle (typically 3–5 minutes). Some models have an automatic shut-off; if not, set a timer. Do not open the lid during the cycle. Wait for it to finish completely to ensure all deposits are removed.
4. Rinse and Store: After the cycle ends, remove each lens, rinse it with fresh solution, and place it in your storage case filled with new solution. Discard the used solution from the ultrasonic chamber. Always rinse after ultrasonic cleaning to remove any loosened residue. Never reuse the solution from the cleaning cycle.
5. Clean the Device: Wipe the ultrasonic chamber and lid with a clean, lint-free cloth. If needed, rinse with distilled water and dry thoroughly before storing. Regular device cleaning prevents buildup of dried solution and deposits, ensuring consistent performance.
