How often should surfactant cleaner be used after contact lens removal?

Using a surfactant cleaner after every removal of contact lenses is essential for maintaining optimal hygiene and ensuring the health of both the lenses and the eyes. Surfactant cleaners are designed to effectively remove deposits, debris, and biofilm that can accumulate on the surface of contact lenses throughout the day. By using the cleaner after every removal, you reduce the risk of irritation, infection, or complications that could arise from leftover contaminants.

Regular cleaning with surfactant ensures that lenses remain clear, comfortable, and safe for wearing during the next application. It helps maintain the integrity of the lens material and supports overall eye health. This practice is particularly crucial for individuals who wear their lenses frequently or for extended periods.
