Dave Zakutin – an American inventor – has devised a simple mechanism for cleaning contact lenses, Ontario`s Kitchener Waterloo Record has reported.
The Jitter Bug contact lens cleaning system has two small plastic compartments and is simple to use – contact lenses are placed inside and at the press of a button the contraption vibrates, cleaning the lenses.
Mr Zakutin believes his hands-free device will be the answer to the world`s 40 million contact lens users who struggle to clean their lenses effectively.
And the inventor gave a simple explanation for the motivation behind his invention.
"I wear contact lenses. Every day I wake up and try to figure out how I can make life better," he said.
There have been a number of developments recently that promise to make life easier for contact lens users.
These include UV-protective contacts which darken when exposed to bright light and drug-releasing lenses that offer glaucoma patients correct and consistent dosages.
