Keeping your contact lens case clean on a daily, weekly and monthly basis is essential to the health of your contact lenses and to your vision overall. Because contact lens cases can be a source for bacteria growth, it’s important to establish a regular cleaning routine to avoid the possibility of an eye infection. Following proper care instructions and using the recommended lens solution helps protect your lenses from germs and allows for clear and comfortable vision throughout the day.
1. Empty the Old Solution
Wash your hands with soap and water before handling your case. Then, unscrew the lids of the case and empty the old solution in your contact lens case down the sink.
2. Rinse Your Case with Solution
Rinse your case with fresh contact lens solution. Never rinse your case with water, which can contain impurities and microorganisms.
3. Let Your Case Air Dry
Set out a clean tissue or lint-free cloth and place your case upside down, with the caps off, to allow the case and the caps to air dry.
4. Add Solution & Replace Case Often
Once dry, add fresh contact lens solution to each side of the case and tightly screw on the caps. Repeat throughout the week and replace your case on a regular basis, at least every three months.
