6-Month Colored Lenses Care: Easy Steps

Quick Answer

To keep your 6-month colored contact lenses safe and comfortable, clean and disinfect them daily with fresh multipurpose solution, store them in a clean case, and replace the case monthly. Never use water or saliva on the lenses.

Daily and Weekly Care Steps

1. Wash and Dry Your Hands: Always wash your hands with mild, non-cosmetic soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before touching your lenses. Oils, lotions, or lint can transfer to the lens surface and cause irritation. Even a small amount of hand cream can cloud the lens—rinse thoroughly.
2. Clean Lenses with Fresh Solution: Place each lens in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of multipurpose solution, and gently rub it with your fingertip for about 20 seconds. Rinse with more solution before storing. This removes daily debris and protein deposits. Never reuse solution from the lens case—always use fresh solution for cleaning.
3. Store in a Clean Case with Fresh Solution: Fill each compartment of your lens case with fresh multipurpose solution. Place the cleaned lens in the correct side (left/right) and close the lid tightly. Let them soak for at least 6 hours to disinfect. Topping off old solution is not enough—empty the case, rinse it, and add fresh solution every time.
4. Replace Lens Case Monthly: Even with daily rinsing, bacteria can build up in the case over time. Replace your lens case every month to reduce the risk of eye infections. Mark your calendar if needed. A dirty case can re-contaminate your lenses even after proper cleaning.
5. Weekly Deep Clean with a Protein Remover: Once a week, use a protein-removing enzyme tablet or solution (if recommended by your eye doctor) to break down stubborn protein deposits that regular rubbing misses. Follow the product instructions exactly. Overuse of protein removers can damage the lens material—stick to the weekly schedule.
