Lenzbox hopes to ease the pain of cleaning contact lenses

Cleaning contact lenses is a pretty cumbersome experience. But German company Lenzbox hopes to turn this "pain" into a "joy" with the press of a button. Lenzbox announced its product at Collision Conference, promising an "easy and safe all-in-one care system for contact lenses." The device is designed to protect your contact lenses against viruses and germs to maintain your eye health.

Lenzbox uses a patent-protected closed fluidic system, which the company claims comply with the highest hygienic standards. It's made to reduce the risk of eye infection significantly. It comes with a cartridge bag with a premium cleaning liquid, which you can replace when you use up. The Lenzbox is expected to ship later this year. If you want to try it out, Lenzbox has opened its waiting list for the limited early-bird version.
