How to Clean and Store VelvetTone Opaque Lenses

Quick answer

Clean your VelvetTone opaque lenses daily with a fresh multipurpose solution, rub them gently for 20 seconds, and store them in a clean case with fresh solution. Replace your case monthly.

Step-by-step cleaning and storage routine

1. 1. Wash and dry your hands: Use mild, non-cosmetic soap and dry with a lint-free towel. Avoid moisturizing soaps—they leave a film on your fingers that transfers to the lenses. Even a trace of lotion can cloud opaque lenses and reduce comfort.
2. 2. Remove one lens and place it in your palm: Scoop the lens onto your fingertip, then transfer it to your opposite palm. Do not let it fold onto itself—this can trap air bubbles that hold bacteria. If the lens sticks to your finger, rinse it with solution before moving it.
3. 3. Apply fresh multipurpose solution and rub: Squeeze enough solution to cover the lens, then rub gently with your index finger for 20 seconds on each side. Rubbing dislodges protein and lipid deposits that soaking alone cannot remove. Never rub with saliva or water—both can introduce harmful microbes.
4. 4. Rinse the lens with solution: Hold the lens in your palm and stream fresh solution over it for 5 seconds. This washes away loosened debris before storage. Use only the same multipurpose solution—no tap water, no saline.
5. 5. Fill the lens case with fresh solution: Fill each well to the brim (not just a few drops). Submerging the lens completely prevents dehydration and ensures disinfectant works. Never top off old solution—always pour it out and refill.
6. 6. Place the lens in the case and close tightly: Gently drop the lens into the solution, making sure it sinks and does not float on the rim. Close the cap without over-tightening—cracking the case can harbor bacteria. Repeat steps 2–6 for your second lens.
7. 7. Clean and dry the lens case after each use: Empty the case, rinse with fresh solution (not water), and air-dry upside down on a clean tissue. Water from the tap can contain microorganisms that survive in the case. Replace your lens case every 30 days—cracks and biofilm build up over time.
