Caring for gas permeable contact lenses isn’t as easy as just tossing out a pair of disposable soft lenses. It will take a little bit of effort. It’s still a much better solution than wearing glasses though.

With contact lenses you don’t have to worry about getting those unsightly nose indentations or looking bug eyed from a really strong prescription. 


  • The first thing you need to do is clean and sanitize your hands. Be sure to scrub thoroughly to remove any dirt and grime you might have on your hands. If you don’t it’s going in your eye. If you don’t use antibacterial soap then it’s a good idea to use hand sanitizer after you finish washing up. 
  • Next thing you’ll want to do is plug the sink drain. Trust me, I’ve lost enough lenses down the drain, don’t learn the hard way. 
  • Remove a contact lens from your eye and place it on the tip of your index finger or in the palm of your hand. 
  •  Next rinse the lens again, this time with saline solution this will keep any gunk that might be in the tap water from getting in the lens. 
  • Place the lens inside its storage case. 
  • Fill the contact lens cap up with a conditioning solution and then close the lid.
  • Use a couple drops of cleaner solution to fill up the contact lens. Work the solution in with your fingers for about half a minute. Don’t rub too hard though or the lens might tear. 
  • Once you’re finished scrubbing rinse the lens off with some tap water to get rid of all the cleaning solution. 
  • Next rinse the lens again, this time with saline solution this will keep any gunk that might be in the tap water from getting in the lens.
  • Place the lens inside its storage case.
