Many contact lens users still do not wear daily contact lenses, but monthly ones. These, however, require following certain lens care rules, failure to comply with which may lead to serious complications. In fact, as much as 80% of all complications that affect contact lens users result from patients’ disregarding the rules or simply forgetting, for instance, to replace lens cases every month.
An invention launched several weeks ago may make those problems become a thing of the past. It is a timer that reminds its users to replace their lenses and lens cases. The device simply counts down to zero and shows appropriate information on its two digital displays.
Children and teens are said to benefit the most from using the invention. More and more of them wear contact lenses, and the device may set their parents’ minds at ease, eliminating the risk of complications and instilling habits necessary for proper contact lens use.
The utility of the device and its affordable price have made it an instant marketing hit.
