Quick answer
Clean your Sweet Candy lens case daily with fresh contact lens solution (never water) and let it air dry upside down on a clean tissue. Replace the case every three months to prevent bacterial buildup.
Why proper cleaning matters
Your contact lens case is a breeding ground for bacteria if not cleaned regularly. Even with the best lens hygiene, residue from solution and eye proteins can accumulate inside the case, leading to eye infections or discomfort. The Sweet Candy case's compact, dust-proof design helps, but it still needs daily attention.
Step-by-step cleaning and storage guide
- 1. Wash your hands: Always start with clean, dry hands. Use soap and water, then dry with a lint-free towel. Common mistake: skipping hand washing can transfer oils and bacteria directly into the case.
- 2. Empty and rinse the case: Discard any old solution from the case wells. Rinse each well with fresh contact lens solution—never tap water, as water contains microorganisms that can cause infections. Common mistake: using water thinking it's fine; it can introduce Acanthamoeba, a serious eye pathogen. Use only fresh contact lens solution for rinsing.
- 3. Rub and rinse the case: Apply a drop of fresh solution to each well and rub gently with a clean finger for 5 seconds. Then rinse again with solution. Common mistake: skipping the rub step; simply rinsing doesn't remove biofilm.
- 4. Air dry upside down: Place the case upside down on a clean, dry tissue or paper towel. Leave the caps off so air circulates inside the wells. Let it dry completely before closing. Common mistake: closing the case while wet traps moisture and encourages mold. Store the case in a clean, dry area away from sinks and toilets.
- 5. Replace every three months: Even with perfect cleaning, the plastic can develop scratches and biofilm over time. Mark your calendar to replace the Sweet Candy case every three months. Common mistake: using the same case for months beyond the recommended period. Set a reminder on your phone to swap cases seasonally.
