Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Contact lenses

Yes
Check first
No

Never – contact lenses must not come into contact with water.

Updated from your answers.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

The FDA writes that contact lenses should not be exposed to any water, whether tap, bottled or distilled, because of the risk of infection. Lenses are cleaned only with their own solution.

Do this instead

  • Use the lens solution as your optician advises
  • The lens case is also cleaned with solution, not water
