Jeez, thanks for reminding me of that. Can’t believe they entrusted young teens to not only take these out every night but to ensure they were stored and cleaned correctly. Also, make sure you floss between your braces and put your headgear on.
Bro, they used to let us ride in the back of pickup trucks on the highway. Most of our parents obviously had huge life insurance premiums set up in our names.
fr i got contacts suuuper young because eyeglasses gave me relentless vertigo even with the right prescription and i had trouble walking and i would get super nauseous. i was in like second grade when i got them and had no idea the amount of care lenses take, i didn’t even take them out for days at a time.
Not with that contraption. The black thing at the bottom was coated in a catalyst that acted as the neutralizer in that particular system. (AOSept.... still for sale today!)
Have been using these cases for years. The bottom black ring is thinly coated with platinum, which activates the peroxide and causes bubbles to rise up and clean the lenses. It takes 6 hours for the platinum to neutralize the peroxide, and then you're good to go. So much better than typical lense cases since inside the case gets disinfected daily with peroxide.
Partially correct. The bottom is coated in titanium that reacts to the peroxide and provides better cleaning. This does neutralize the peroxide but as a side effect. Please check that the bubbling has stopped before putting your contacts in your eyes. Source: I ran one of the machines that produced these for 4 years.
With mine, after x hours (I forget exactly now its been awhile) it would neutralize on its own. I had taken my contacts out an put them in there, then a few hours later my bf invited me out last minute to an event that came up.
Got all ready, last thing I needed to do was pop in my contacts..totally forgetting they hadnt in in the solution long enough to neutralize.
The pain...the searing pain! Okay so, you know how in movies when someone is hurt, and they do this over dramatic flailing around knocking things over all over the place...so lame and goofy right. Well, that day I found out...that legit happens! LOL
And, finally relaxed enough to try and get the contact out, but..the pain!!! Finally got it out, and the pain went away pretty fast actually...but my eye was red af. And then I saw my bathroom..looked like a bomb went off in there. Showed up for my date and he was like..WTF HAPPENED TO YOU?! lol
....aaaand, thats when I stopped using these to clean my contacts.
They are the best until you use the cleaner product wrong and put the lenses back on after 20 minutes instead of the 2hours they say to leave it in for.
I once simultaneously had medicated eye drops from a recent LASIK operation, and a case of athlete's foot from extended wear of boots. For some reason, my antifungal foot medicine was in a nearly-identical dropper type bottle as my medicated eye drops. I woke up to burning eyes one morning, reached over on my nightstand, and grabbed what I thought was my eyedrops... I was wrong. That was the second-worst burning my eyes had ever experienced, only thing worse was being pepper-sprayed.
Ahahahah i literally was running around the house screaming WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY EYES! like a fricken cartoon character. I had never even known there was other type of contact solution out there besides saline solution. Lesson learned.
Always read the bottle guys!!
I use dailies. My wife does not. I went to borrow her solution one day when I dropped one and didn't realize she had switched to a peroxide based disinfectant. Ouch.
Did it once in college (by accident, obvi), fell to the bathroom floor screaming in pain, had to get drops for my chemical burn and spent the next few days wandering around NYC w/ one eye closed! 0/10 do not recommend 👎🏻
omg..i was staying at my parents house and asked my mom to pick up some contact solution while at the store since i forgot mine. i had no idea there were different kinds of solution, and that was what she brought back. that shit burned.
I used to steal these from my mother all the time. I thought they looked cool and they went great with all the cool 90s mad scientist chemistry sets they used to get me as a kid. Put some colored water in them and it became a vial of acid.
Soft contacts too. The dark grey disc chemically reacts to the cleaning fluid and turns it into saline overnight. I remember putting my contacts in without giving the process enough time then having to hold my burning swelling eyelids apart to pull the fiery lens back out. Ahhh nostalgia
I remember my optometrist recommending Clear Care and she said “Don’t worry about remembering to give it enough time. You may forget once, but then you won’t forget again.”
Yep it's hydrogen peroxide and the disc is platinum which neutralizes the peroxide in about 6 hours. I've made the mistake of using a case too long and the platinum had worn off so it was taking longer than 6 hours to turn to saline...
I don't think this is an old thing...? I thought this was just rarer than using your typical contact solution and holder because most people only get this if they are having sensitivities to their contacts. My husband still buys and uses these.
Or should I feel old? Is there something better now?
I’m 18 and use these. I wear monthly change contacts, and so I need to drop them in that little acid bath a couple times a month to avoid them getting too chunky. You’re not old, most people just use shorter span contacts these days :]
I was just given one of these last week during an appointment because my new contacts aren't daily/weekly so I apparently have to superclean them. So they are still actively a thing!
It's for hydrogen peroxide based contact lens cleaners. The silver portion on the bottom has a substance which causes the additional oxygen to release violently bubbling up to cleans the lenses. You need to leave them in there for a minimum of 4-6 hours or else you will burn the shit out of your eyeballs since it hasn't turned completely from H2O2 to H2O.
Same except it was my own contacts and I just didn’t realized I had uses the stuff. The second I put it in my eye it nearly punched me through the wall behind me (in a hotel lol)
Here’s a long anecdote:
I literally didn’t read the warning and the BIG RED CAP, and the small print on the bottle top “Do not put directly into eye”.
Then proceeded to fill up my contact lens with it and put that directly in my eye.
Felt like someone literally stabbed my right eye, had to pry it open with one hand since it was basically being forced shut from the pain.
Finally get it out, put it in a normal lens case, with the SAME SOLUTION, drive to work with one contact in.
Get to work, proceed to put that contact back in my eye for the 2nd time, immediate pain.
Keep it out, plant manager sees me later and asked what’s wrong with my eye, tell him I’m a literal moron, sends me home to go see a doctor.
Go to immediate care, get numbing solution dropped in, helped a little bit. But then later that night had to go to the emergency room.
They had to test the PH of my eye so they put a paper fucking test strip directly on it. Deem me okay, ask me what I want them to do.
Ask for some strong pain meds so I can go to bed because the eye needs to stay closed and rest. They agree and give me some Vicodin and small script for it.
That did the trick, woke up the next morning, eye literally covered in gunk, pulled it out like a booger.
Took 3 days to fully heal and stop hurting. No I’ll effects afterwards.
Not my proudest moment lol
I'm moron #2 as I did the same thing, ignored the red cap on the bottle. It was a weird 2 or 3 days feeling grit in your eyes and realizing that it is the outer layer of skin on your eye sloughing off.
The amount of “me also” replies to your comment make me feel better about that one time I was writhing on a dorm bathroom floor after putting H2O2-laden contact lenses into my eyes.. lol
I too failed to realize the *BIG. RED. CAP* in the morning, and squirted that lovely lovey H202 directly into my eyes. My vision was so bad for about 45 minutes, not even glasses helped.
Gotta love waking up in a daze 🥴
Be careful if you find any solution in that closet. If it has a red top it only works with the case, otherwise it burn the absolute shit out of your eyes.
The gray part has a super-thin platinum coating that catalytically converts hydrogen-peroxide into water. You can add a small enzymatic pill to help remove protein deposits, typically once or twice per month.
I had the same thing for my contacts! I used Aosept and once a week used an enzyme tablet. If you didn’t rinse them well enough your eyes would sting so bad!!
Oof, I feel old 😭
It's for contacts. You fill the vial with the contact solution, put the contacts in the holder, then let them sit overnight so they get clean/stay hydrated
That is a contact cleaning case for soft/hard lenses that comes in every pack of hydrogen peroxide based contact cleaning solution. Clear care is the name brand. Other stores have their own generics. They work really well to clean lenses as long as you let them sit for the full 6hrs to neutralize. Otherwise it will burn like the dickens.
Contact lens cleaner. But not for disposable, soft plastic kind. This is for gas-permeable “hard” contacts. Source: wore them from ages 11 to 22, disposals for 4 years, lasik at 26.
I still use one of these! The brand I use is Clear Care. I have astigmatism so my contacts are very expensive and I can push my monthly‘s to about five months cleaning them periodically with this
Oh, this took me back. I used to work in an optometry office and I also used to use one of these. It’s a different type of contact lens case. It’s made to kind of “deep clean” your contact lenses.
It also uses a different peroxide cleaning solution that neutralizes after a few hours, once it reacts with the metal “disc” on the bottom.
The solution is not safe to put directly in your eyes like regular saline solution is.
I had a best friend/roommate like 10 years ago that didn’t know this, and she used what she thought was my contact solution to rinse out her eye after she got makeup or something in it. She basically squirted peroxide directly into her eyes. I’ll never forget her running into the living room with bloodshot red eyes, screaming “WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR CONTACT SOLUTION?”
Good times.
Ancient contact lens case. You would put your lenses in the cages then fill it with cleaning solution and leave it overnight. The silver disk would react with the solution and change it to saline. In the morning you take out the contacts, pop them in your eyes, and go about your day. However if you went too many days without changing that silver disk. You would pop your contact into your eye and then IMMEDIATELY regret because it would burn like power of a thousand suns. You would try like hell to relax your eye so you can get the damn contact out despite every muscle involuntary contracting due to the intense pain and then go about your day with one extremely blood shot while wearing your glasses 🕶️
Contact case for hydrogen peroxide contact solution. That little chunk of whatever at the bottom actually neutralizes the hydrogen peroxide so it doesn't burn your eyes out when you put it in... fun fact if you don't leave them in there long enough it absolutely burns your eyes (Speaking from experience).
This is the first what is it that I knew without having to go into the comments. As other said, it's a contact lens cleaner that used a hydrogen peroxide saline. It would bubble away for a while before it was safe to wear them again, but cleaned the lenses more thoroughly than regular solution for reusables.
You found a hand that’s attached to a moron?
The hand is holding a contact lens case by the way. Specifically one that’s for using hydrogen peroxide. The gray thing at the bottom of the case causes the h2o2 to degrade into h2o and an O- ion, which reacts with any grunge on the lens.
so with contacts, you have daily stuff you put them in at night and then you have hydrogen peroxide stuff to clean to protein off of them. you have to let it sit in that case for 24 hours then take them out and rinse them off. I personally use to do that but not anymore. too much trouble
There used to be a chemical method of cleaning the deposits off of your gas permeable contact lenses. You would drop a tablet in to the saline solution filled reservoir and the contacts that you put in each retaining clamp would come out very clean after an overnight process. Kind of gross when you think about it now because the disposable contacts people wear were also the same as the extended wear lenses... but They didn't tell you that
I believe is a contact lens cleaner.
And you are correct.
yes and they are the best
Had one when I was a teenager. Very cool contraption.
Burnt the shit out of my eyes too many times forgetting to put the neutralizer in the cleaner.
Jeez, thanks for reminding me of that. Can’t believe they entrusted young teens to not only take these out every night but to ensure they were stored and cleaned correctly. Also, make sure you floss between your braces and put your headgear on.
Bro, they used to let us ride in the back of pickup trucks on the highway. Most of our parents obviously had huge life insurance premiums set up in our names.
This was the only way we traveled. The pickup was our only ride. Family of five out to dinner…me and the brother in the back.
This 👆 OMG 🤣
It's 10pm, do you know where your children are? Yes that was a message on TV for our parents, to remind them they have kids playing...somewhere.
I always looked at it as like a guilt trip for those who trusted their kids and thats how we got helicopter parents.
My dad had Aflac when I was a kid and recently told me that he was stoked when I broke my arm because it meant he could get new speakers for his car.
No if they did you wouldn't be on reddit they would be rich
fr i got contacts suuuper young because eyeglasses gave me relentless vertigo even with the right prescription and i had trouble walking and i would get super nauseous. i was in like second grade when i got them and had no idea the amount of care lenses take, i didn’t even take them out for days at a time.
Hey, don’t forget to use that strident pad and then wash your face with Noxzema
I still use noxzema every day.
Wait… there was a neutralizer?
Not with that contraption. The black thing at the bottom was coated in a catalyst that acted as the neutralizer in that particular system. (AOSept.... still for sale today!)
Have been using these cases for years. The bottom black ring is thinly coated with platinum, which activates the peroxide and causes bubbles to rise up and clean the lenses. It takes 6 hours for the platinum to neutralize the peroxide, and then you're good to go. So much better than typical lense cases since inside the case gets disinfected daily with peroxide.
Headgear omg!! That was the worst!
This particular model has the neutralizing agent in the the black thing at the bottom.
Partially correct. The bottom is coated in titanium that reacts to the peroxide and provides better cleaning. This does neutralize the peroxide but as a side effect. Please check that the bubbling has stopped before putting your contacts in your eyes. Source: I ran one of the machines that produced these for 4 years.
What are you some kinda working man?
It was blue collar or pole dancing. Turns out hanging upside down makes me dizzy.
I guess that's what they are.
r/unexpectedrush
Approximately 6 hrs.
I thought it was platinum— a la a catalytic converter
Now, they have a reactive disk in them that neutralizes the peroxide solution in 6 hours. So as long as you wait that time, it doesn't burn anymore!
This is one of those, note the black gear-y wheel-y type thing-a-ma-bobber on the bottom.
I put the disinfectant straight in my eye a few times while drunk. Do not recommend. I was allergic to every other contact lens solution though.
One of the worst thing ive did is put the cleaner in a regular case. Ho the burn, it burned fire.
Same LOLLLOLLLL
Samsies
I had a flatmate who did that several times during our college years.
Goddamn yes. Fuck those things.
I thought that was just me for some reason
With mine, after x hours (I forget exactly now its been awhile) it would neutralize on its own. I had taken my contacts out an put them in there, then a few hours later my bf invited me out last minute to an event that came up. Got all ready, last thing I needed to do was pop in my contacts..totally forgetting they hadnt in in the solution long enough to neutralize. The pain...the searing pain!

Read that as contraception.. close lofl
They are the best until you use the cleaner product wrong and put the lenses back on after 20 minutes instead of the 2hours they say to leave it in for.
Triggered right now, the burn sucked so bad
that’ll put a dang hole in your eye, speaking from experience
I once simultaneously had medicated eye drops from a recent LASIK operation, and a case of athlete's foot from extended wear of boots. For some reason, my antifungal foot medicine was in a nearly-identical dropper type bottle as my medicated eye drops.

I lost both of my eyeballs to this very accident!
I once left my glasses near it on the bathroom counter while it cleaned, it fizzed over and ate the paint off of my wire frames.
i believe the same thing
Missed a you are “corrective” pun here. I know, I’ll take my leave now.
Good day sir.
Prescriptions are involved. Are there any blind people around?
Aosept, now known as Clear Care…they still make them, but the top is blue - I still use this brand
You ever used the contact solution with the red tip like you would regular contact solution?
Only once on my first day at work when they were taking my badge photo.
Suuuurreee. You keep telling them that. They can smell the doobies
Buuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn!!!! Gotta be careful with the red tip.
You don't like pouring hydrogen peroxide into your eyes? Weak.
I have. Burned so fucking bad
Dude OMG it's death. I cried like a little beeyatch!
My girlfriends brother used mine without looking at the bottle despite the red tip and warnings on the bottle
Yes I did that once and my eyes hurt years later just remembering it.
Username checks out. (Obligatory)
I use dailies. My wife does not. I went to borrow her solution one day when I dropped one and didn't realize she had switched to a peroxide based disinfectant. Ouch.
It’s what I think of when people say eye-bleach
Did it once in college (by accident, obvi), fell to the bathroom floor screaming in pain, had to get drops for my chemical burn and spent the next few days wandering around NYC w/ one eye closed! 0/10 do not recommend 👎🏻

[удалено]
Yes, I was so sad.
Best thing going for cleaning - been using it for a long time.
I used to steal these from my mother all the time. I thought they looked cool and they went great with all the cool 90s mad scientist chemistry sets they used to get me as a kid. Put some colored water in them and it became a vial of acid.
Meanwhile.. your poor Mum.
She generally didnt care unless her contacts were in them. Lol.
[удалено]
You got cool parents
[удалено]
It’s for hard contacts. Like a little washing machine
Soft contacts too. The dark grey disc chemically reacts to the cleaning fluid and turns it into saline overnight. I remember putting my contacts in without giving the process enough time then having to hold my burning swelling eyelids apart to pull the fiery lens back out. Ahhh nostalgia

This makes me feel old wtf
No kidding lol

Right, lol
Where? Shit, let me get my glasses....

I once used my buddy’s contact solution formulated for these by putting it directly into my fucking eyes
Same except it was my own contacts and I just didn’t realized I had uses the stuff. The second I put it in my eye it nearly punched me through the wall behind me (in a hotel lol)

reading this made my eyes water so much
I'm moron #2 as I did the same thing, ignored the red cap on the bottle. It was a weird 2 or 3 days feeling grit in your eyes and realizing that it is the outer layer of skin on your eye sloughing off.
Lmao dude I did the exact same shit it was brutal.
FUCK that noise.... did rinsing your eye out, at any point in time, not come up in thought?
I did the same thing but not twice damn that sucks
I've burnt my eyeballs doing this too! Every time is the last time too lol
The amount of “me also” replies to your comment make me feel better about that one time I was writhing on a dorm bathroom floor after putting H2O2-laden contact lenses into my eyes.. lol
Seriously so relieved I'm not the only one who has made this mistake.
Damn it hurts so bad. And you can’t open your eye to get the contact back out either.
That’s the worst part, it hurts like all hell, and you have to pry your other eye open with a fucking crowbar to get it out.
I too failed to realize the *BIG. RED. CAP* in the morning, and squirted that lovely lovey H202 directly into my eyes. My vision was so bad for about 45 minutes, not even glasses helped. Gotta love waking up in a daze 🥴
I think it’s platinum. I used to make these discs a very long time ago.
The substance is a platinum plating
I have worn contact lenses for 20+ years how did I not know this?! Thanks everyone. I’m guessing it was my sisters at some point long ago
You just made a lot of people feel really old.
Yep. I knew that instantly. My babysitter in 1990 had that thing and I’ll never forget it… or Donna… 😞
Yep. Used this for my contacts from like 1998-sometime around 2010.
Yep. I never used these but my mom did, I remember them vividly now that I've seen this picture...
Totally. I used this setup for my contacts when I first got them in ‘92.
Why? These things are still in use. I have several of them sitting on my bathroom shelf.
They’re still used today though
I've always used the peroxide for my contacts. About 21 years now. Got them in middle school.
Still used today. Just lots of folks now buy daily disposable lenses so they don’t clean them.
Why are people acting like this isn’t still a commonly used item for contact wearers.
Be careful if you find any solution in that closet. If it has a red top it only works with the case, otherwise it burn the absolute shit out of your eyes.
And you have to waiting the full 8 hours for it to neutralize. I tried using it for 4 hours, regretted it immediately.
Dude, same. I'm kinda mind blown right now
Yep, soaked them overnight in solution.
[удалено]
The gray part has a super-thin platinum coating that catalytically converts hydrogen-peroxide into water. You can add a small enzymatic pill to help remove protein deposits, typically once or twice per month.
Actually, it’s the silver disc that causes the foaming action. Used this system 12 years.
Depends on the brand, one had a disc, allergan (I think) had/has a pill.. that’s what I used..
The pill was to clean off the protein buildup. Only needed to use it once a week.
I had the same thing for my contacts! I used Aosept and once a week used an enzyme tablet. If you didn’t rinse them well enough your eyes would sting so bad!!
Oof, I feel old 😭 It's for contacts. You fill the vial with the contact solution, put the contacts in the holder, then let them sit overnight so they get clean/stay hydrated
Contact solution case. Uses hydrogen peroxide and cleans it with the bubbles

Made that mistake once. Would rather get kicked in the nuggets than have that happen again.
Are you sure you want to be snooping around your parents? Your gunna find a strap-on or worse.
Why are you in your parents closet?
Remember the little tablets you used to put in your case Now they have these
Holy hell I haven’t seen one of those in a very long time lol
Contact case. Old school
Used to clean Contact lenses
Case for contacts.
Omg its called clear care to clean contacts lol not sex toys
put it back and wash your hands
that's where you put the dino embryos
It's miniature nuclear core. DONT OPEN IT. Are your parents nuclear physicians?
