Learn how to safely store your colored contact lenses in a decorative case while maintaining hygiene and lens integrity.
Quick answer
Store your colored contact lenses in a clean, dry fancy case filled with fresh solution. Always replace the solution daily and clean the case after each use to prevent contamination.
Why a fancy case works for lens storage
A decorative lens case like the Fancy case Gold adds personality to your routine, but it must meet the same hygiene standards as a plain case. The key is keeping the interior clean and dry between uses.
The main trade-off is that ornate cases may have crevices that trap moisture or debris. Regular cleaning is essential to avoid bacterial growth.
How to store colored lenses in a fancy case
- Clean the case before first use: Rinse the fancy case with fresh contact lens solution (never tap water) and let it air dry upside down on a clean tissue. Avoid using soap or water, as residues can irritate your eyes.
- Fill each compartment with fresh solution: Fill both sides of the case with enough multipurpose solution to fully submerge each lens. Never reuse or top off old solution. Old solution loses its disinfecting power and can harbor bacteria.
- Place lenses in the correct compartment: Remove each lens, clean it with solution, and place it in the corresponding left/right compartment. Ensure the lens is fully covered. Mixing up left and right lenses can cause discomfort or blurry vision.
- Close the case securely: Screw or snap the lids on tightly to prevent leaks, especially if you travel with the case. Check that the lids are clean before closing. A loose lid can let solution spill and lenses dry out.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the case away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A bathroom cabinet is fine if it stays dry, but avoid the sink area. Heat and humidity accelerate bacterial growth in the case.
- Clean the case after each use: Empty the case, rinse with fresh solution, and let it air dry completely with the lids off. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth if needed. Skipping this step can lead to pink eye or lens contamination.
- Replace the case every three months: Even with proper care, lens cases accumulate microscopic deposits. Replace your fancy case quarterly to maintain hygiene. A scratched or cloudy case is a sign it's time for a new one.
