Why Is Contact Lens Solution Important?
Contact lens solution plays an important role in maintaining reusable contact lenses.
It is specially formulated to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store lenses while helping remove deposits that naturally accumulate during wear.
Using contact lens solution correctly helps keep lenses comfortable and ready for the next use.
What Does Contact Lens Solution Do?
- Clean reusable contact lenses by removing debris and deposits.

Why Should You Never Use Water Instead of Contact Lens Solution?
Tap water, bottled water, and other non-sterile water sources are not suitable for cleaning or storing contact lenses.
Water may contain microorganisms that can contaminate lenses and increase the risk of eye complications.
Always use a contact lens solution specifically designed for cleaning, disinfecting, and storing reusable contact lenses.
Why Should You Always Use Fresh Contact Lens Solution?
Fresh solution is necessary every time you store your reusable contact lenses.
Reusing old solution or topping it off with new solution may reduce its cleaning and disinfecting effectiveness.
