This UVC light-enabled contact lens cleaning system kills 99.999% of bacteria!

Have you ever had your life flash before your eyes when you are spending the night away from home but don’t have your contact solution? Then you Google how to keep your contacts safe because you need them the next morning and you end up putting it in saltwater, praying that they don’t dry up or cause infections to your eye. Obviously, this is not safe and can be extremely harmful – even contact solution alone is not enough to kill all the microbes in your lenses, and if you’re a girl then you know there might even be specs of mascara. So how do we ensure our lenses are always clean and avoid serious infections? We use Q Egg and a reminder on our phones to pack the solution!

Q Egg is a smart contact lens case that gives you triple protection against bacteria by working with your contact solution as well as DNA-smashing UVC light to kill infection-spreading microorganisms. There are three layers of defense that are designed in the product to make the process super efficient while delivering the highest standards of cleanliness – your contact solution, UVC light, and a vibrational motor. Q Egg radiates DNA-smashing UVC light as a second layer of defense to kill infection-spreading microorganisms. The vibrational motor that recirculates the solution to rinse off any remaining particles and natural eye secretions. These powerful combinations kill 99.999% of the toughest and most stubborn pathogens commonly found responsible for contact-related eye infections. In a pandemic where the virus can spread via contact with the eyes, it is important to make sure we are keeping our contact lenses as clean as possible.

The case’s sleek design lets you disinfect your lenses on-the-go and was made to fit with the rest of your cosmetic tools. The product has controlled wavelengths and doses so it won’t fog or change the color of your contact lenses. “Q Egg needs just 30 minutes to do what your contact lens solution alone needs 4 hours to achieve,” claims the team as they talk about how this product was designed to reduce medical risks and costs. One charge cycle will keep it running for 2 weeks and you will not need to keep buying new plastic cases each month for your contacts. It is compatible with all types of contact lenses.

This contact lens case is a ‘clear’ winner

This year marks twenty years of me wearing spectacles. They started as chunky, colorful Acetate frames and made their way to sleek Metallic frames, with one brief period in between where I tried contact lenses. This story is about that time. I remember dressing up to go to prom, deciding I’d show up without those geeky spectacles. I was facing the mirror, contact lens on my finger, ready to put it on. It was a warm summer day and the fan was on in the room. The lens, balancing precariously on my finger, managed to catch the breeze and flew off my fingertip, landing flat on the mirror. I went to peel the lens off… and only half the lens peeled off. I was left holding a semi-circular piece of rather expensive hydrogel, while the other semi-circle stay put on the mirror. Cut to the prom, where I sat in a corner drinking fruit juice and wearing clunky frames.

Wow, I feel like I’ve shared a lot with you, so I might as well just get to the point here. The Push Lens Case, if it existed in 2007, would have altered my life. Designed as a case/holder, and even an applicator, the Push Lens Case allows you to store your lenses efficiently, without mixing up the left and the right. It also lets you apply your lenses without the aforementioned (albeit rare) woes. The case also adopts a clever truncated cylindrical design that prevents it from rolling off surfaces like tabletops! Yes, I’m impressed, but after a 20-year relationship with my spectacles, I think I’ll stick to the glasses.

The Push Lens Case is a Winner of the K-Design Award for the year 2017.

Contact Lens Common Sense!

lenspack_1

Let me share a story with you. I’ve had spectacles for roughly 18 years now. As long as I can remember. I’v also been called “four-eyes” for as long as I can remember. So one day, when I was 15, I decided to do something about it. I picked up my first pair of contact lenses. They were pretty cool, except for one thing. They were a nuisance to put on and take off. The last straw was when I was in front of the mirror, and I was about to put the contact lens in, and the fan was on behind me… The contact lens caught the wind and flew off my fingertip, onto the mirror. When I tried peeling the lens off, I managed to peel off half the lens. That was it for contact lenses.

The problem with lenses has always been application and removal. Not only is it a daunting process, most people a scared out of using them because it’s so frightening to see your jittering fingertip slowly approach your pupil. Three designers set out to change that incredibly clumsy experience. The Lenspack is a contact lens case, fluid vial, and lens applicator and removal device all in one. While lens and fluid cases are pretty common, the applicator separates the Lenspack from the rest. A collapsible silicone sleeve holds the lens tactfully while you gently place it in your eye. Removal is also incredibly easy as the silicone tip has little bumps that catch the lens easily, taking it off the eyeball like an absolute pro. Raise your hands if you’re waiting for this to hit the market!
