Safe Brown Colored Contact Lens Care Routine

Quick answer

To care for brown colored contact lenses safely, always wash your hands before handling, use fresh solution daily, and never sleep or swim in your lenses.

Step-by-step brown contact lens care routine

1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly: Use mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Dry with a lint-free towel. Oils, lotion, or dirt on your fingers can transfer to the lens and cause blurry vision or eye irritation. Avoid hand sanitizer alone—it may leave residue that sticks to the lens.
2. Clean each lens with fresh solution: Place the lens in your palm, add a few drops of multipurpose solution, and gently rub for 20 seconds on each side. Rinse with solution afterward. Never use water or saliva—they can introduce harmful microorganisms. Always use fresh solution. Never top off old solution in the case.
3. Store lenses in a clean case with fresh solution: Fill each compartment with fresh solution, then place the lens in and close the lid tightly. Keep the case in a cool, dry place. Replace your case every three months to prevent bacteria growth. Empty and air-dry the case after each use. Never store lenses in saline or rewetting drops.
4. Follow the recommended wear schedule: Replace your brown colored lenses as directed—daily, bi-weekly, or monthly. Overwearing can cause protein buildup, reduced oxygen flow, and increased infection risk. Remove lenses before sleeping or swimming. Set a calendar reminder for lens replacement to avoid accidentally overusing them.
