Contact lens case
The eyes, like the skin, contain a unique microbiome of bacteria. If a tiny drop of that bacteria from an eyeliner can do a lot of damage, imagine what the bacteria on a contact lens, which covers the whole eye for hours at a time, can do. And you place those lenses in the same case, night after night. The American Optometric Association suggests replacing contact lens cases every three months. They also recommend reading the instructions on your contact solution carefully. While some solution is suitable for holding lenses for 24 hours, others are only meant for shorter periods of time, and beyond that, may not be protecting your lenses from germs.
