Problems solved by technology

Another problem with existing compact lens cases with time tracking devices is that they presume that the compact lens wearer will wear the left and right contact lenses beginning on different dates and therefore require the compact lens wearer to set and keep track of two different dates.
That presumption requires the incorporation of a larger time tracking system that makes existing contact lens cases cumbersome and less accessible to a contact lens wearer.
