Learn the correct steps to clean and store your contact lens accessories like cases and solution bottles. Keep your lenses safe and extend accessory life.
Quick Answer
To keep your contact lenses safe, clean your lens case daily and store your multipurpose solution in a cool, dry place. Replace solution and case regularly.
Why Proper Accessory Care Matters
Your contact lens case and solution bottle are just as important as the lenses themselves. Bacteria and debris can build up quickly, leading to eye infections or discomfort. A few simple habits can prevent this.
Many people overlook the solution bottle's nozzle and cap. Dust and moisture can collect there, so wiping it clean before each use is a small step that makes a big difference.
Step-by-Step Accessory Care Routine
- Clean Your Lens Case Daily: After inserting your lenses, empty the old solution from the case. Rinse each compartment with fresh multipurpose solution (never tap water). Rub the inside with clean fingers for 10 seconds, then air-dry the case upside down on a clean tissue. Never seal the case while it's still wet inside — moisture breeds bacteria.
- Store Your Solution Properly: Keep the multipurpose solution 160ml bottle upright with the cap tightly closed. Store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Do not transfer the solution to another container. Check the expiration date on the bottle before each use. Discard any leftover solution after the recommended period.
- Replace Your Case and Solution Regularly: Replace your lens case every 1-3 months. Replace your multipurpose solution bottle after the expiration date or 3 months after opening, whichever comes first. Write the opening date on the bottle with a marker. A fresh case and fresh solution are the simplest way to avoid eye irritation.
