Ultrasonic Contact Lens Cleaner(USB)

I use “monthlies” contact lenses and I honestly thought that all you need to do was pop them into a lens cleaning solution overnight, and they would be cleaned. After all, the clue is in the name of the solution; “cleaning solution”. However, the more I read into the subject the more I learned that simply popping them into the solution overnight may not be the only thing that needs to be done. They actually need to be cleaned manually as it were. Some recommend simply wetting a lens in the solution and gently rubbing it in your hands. If I need to do that then I may as well get a proper cleaner for my lenses, and this is why I got this little device. I was persuaded by the good reviews here on Amazon and I have to say that I am vary pleased with it. Though it hasn’t changed my life for the better, as one or two seem to imply in their case, I do feel better knowing they have been cleansed properly. We all want to look after our eyes. Using the device is simple. Open the lid, place a few drops of any contact lens solution into each of the two wells, place a contact lens in each, turn on for 2 or 5 minutes, and close the lid. Once finished I then pop the lenses into my usual overnight pot. I am not sure if you can keep the lenses in this device overnight – certainly the instructions do not state you can do this, but then again it doesn’t state you can’t. Takes a few hours to fully charge the device, but once done you can unplug and use as you please. Just be aware that though the device comes with a usb lead, it does not actually come with a plug; but most of us have a plug with a usb socket in it, such as those used to charged mobile phones. The instructions also mention using “the tweezers” when handling the lenses, which makes it sound like tweezers come with the device, which it doesn’t. The device has two cleaning settings; 2 minutes and 5 minutes. The instructions suggest a daily clean on 2 minutes, with a weekly clean on 5.

I've found this to be a great product for managing my dry eye syndrome. It effectively cleans my lenses, making them feel fresh and comfortable throughout the day. However, a heads-up: you can't leave the contacts in the cleaner for too long, as they tend to dry up quickly. It's best to use it right before putting your lenses in. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solution for their dry eyes

I purchased this for my mini-scleral lenses to see if I could improve my lens cleaning regimen. Fortunately, they have exceeded my expectations! My lenses have never felt so comfortable and looked so sparkling clean (and this is coming from someone who takes every precaution when it comes to hand hygiene - even during normal times). I can honestly say that this is much better than cleaning them by hand. Simply put your lenses in the tray, fill each side up with your favourite lens cleaning solution (Boston Simplus in my case) and press 5 min or 2 min to begin. If you don't have tweezers for contact lenses, I would recommend them if you want to buy this product - it's much better to handle the lenses using tweezers than with your fingers. I usually do about 2.5 minutes per side of each lens so I flip them over mid-cycle with the tweezers and it works well. My only gripe with it is that the inner tray for the lenses is not removable so it's pretty awkward to clean that, but not impossible. I've just been cleaning it daily by rubbing each groove with a few drops of Boston simplus, rinsing it with some sterile saline and then letting it air dry for a bit.

Thanks for the update! I've incorporated your note about the protein removal while still highlighting the charging issue: ### Contact Lens Cleaning Machine Review - **Initial Impressions:** - I was excited to try this cleaner for my Gas Permeable contact lenses, hoping it would help with foggy vision. - Heard positive feedback about ultrasonic cleaners, so I decided to give it a go. - **Performance:** - It effectively cleared protein deposits from my lenses, improving clarity. - However, this benefit was overshadowed by issues with the design and durability. - **Design Flaws:** - The lens holder design doesn't seem suitable for small hard contact lenses. - My lenses often floated in the liquid instead of staying secure. - At times, they would get stuck at the bottom, requiring me to fill the case with saline water or turn the machine upside down to retrieve them. - **Charging Issues:** - Liquid frequently spilled onto the charging wire and port. - Over time, the device stopped charging—similar to what happens with mobile phones, but unacceptable for a product designed to hold liquid. - The design should have included better protection to prevent spills, especially when carrying or disposing of liquid. - **Final Verdict:** - While the machine successfully removed protein buildup, its flaws made it frustrating to use. - Luckily, it was under £100, but I wouldn’t purchase it again. - Given the option, I would request a refund.

Though some warn about this product damaging lenses, I found it didn't damage my gas permeable lenses, which are over 3 years old and therefore clouding more often. A 2-minute zap cleans nicely and a 5-minute blast cleans really well, though if already very clean you might not see much difference. Using daily before inserting in my eyes means I can wear them longer than if I don't use. Charging is easy and quick with USB mini cable (provided).

I am fairly new to monthly contact lenses but found they were getting increasingly uncomfortable to wear daily. I did everything by the book and cleaned them everyday. Didn't make an ounce of difference. I thought I'd give this cleaner a go. In the short term they felt cleaner but ultimately I changed to disposables.

Very nice product. It washes lenses with ultrasonic technique. I love it. Perfect for lenses cleaning. After using this i feel better reault of lenses. It's a rechargeable and type c cable. Portable and easy to use. I highly recommend this one for personal use.

This device is great; I wear RGP lenses for keratoconus and my current pair (4 months old) feel like new after using this, much better that using fingers to clean them. The machine is simple to use but i’ve taken a star off because even with the lid closed, fluid leaks out if not laid flat and the vessel can’t be removed so it’s a bit awkward to clean. But after 20 years of lens wearing I will definitely continue with ultrasonic cleaners, can’t believe i’ve taken so long to try one!
