Quick answer
Use the CL Vanity Kit as your all-in-one colored contact storage case: keep the lens case filled with fresh solution, store the applicator and tweezers dry, and pack the kit flat in your bag. Replace the solution daily and never use tap water.
Why a dedicated lens organizer matters
A color contact lens storage case does more than hold lenses—it keeps solution from leaking, protects lenses from dust, and separates left from right so you don't mix them up. The CL Vanity Kit bundles a lens case, mirror, applicator, and tweezers in one compact unit, which reduces the chance of forgetting a tool when you're traveling.
The trade-off: because the kit is compact, the lens case holds only one pair. If you switch between multiple lens colors, you'll still need a separate case for each pair or a labeled multi-case.
What to check before first use
Before you load lenses into the CL Vanity Kit, inspect the lens case for cracks and make sure the caps seal tightly. Rinse the case with fresh multi-purpose solution and let it air-dry completely. The applicator and tweezers should be cleaned with solution and dried with a lint-free tissue—never with tap water.
One exception: if you use hydrogen peroxide-based solution, do not rinse the case with it unless the case is approved for that system. Check your solution's instructions.
Step-by-step: store your colored contacts with the CL Vanity Kit
- Wash and dry your hands: Wash with soap and water, then dry with a lint-free towel before touching lenses or the kit. Common mistake: using a shared hand towel that leaves lint on your fingers, which can transfer to the lens. Keep a dedicated lint-free towel near your lens station.
- Clean the lens case with fresh solution: Fill the case with multi-purpose solution, close, shake, and discard. Repeat once, then leave caps off to air-dry. Mistake: rinsing with tap water—this introduces microorganisms that can cause eye infections. Never let tap water touch the case or lenses.
- Place each lens in the correct chamber: Put the right lens in the chamber marked R and the left in L. If your case isn't marked, establish a consistent side (e.g., right = red cap) and stick to it. Mistake: dropping both lenses into one chamber, which can cause mix-ups and scratches. Label the case if markings are unclear.
- Fill with fresh solution and close tightly: Fill each chamber with enough solution to cover the lens, then screw caps on firmly. Mistake: overfilling—solution can leak into the kit and leave residue. Fill to the fill line if present. Check for leaks by tipping the closed case over a sink.
- Store the applicator and tweezers dry: After cleaning with solution, dry the applicator and tweezers with a lint-free tissue and place them back in the kit. Mistake: storing them wet, which encourages bacterial growth and can rust metal tools. Leave the kit open to air-dry fully before zipping it shut.
- Pack the kit for travel: Close the lens case, place it in the kit, and pack the kit flat in your bag. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat. Mistake: tossing the kit loose where it can be crushed or opened accidentally. Use a small pouch or elastic band to keep the kit closed.
- Replace solution daily and refresh the case monthly: Discard and refill the solution every day you store lenses. Replace the lens case at least every three months. Mistake: topping off old solution—it loses disinfecting power and can harbor biofilm. Set a phone reminder to replace the case quarterly.
