How long can contact lenses' fluid in the container last?!


Question: How long can contact lenses' fluid in the container last?
I put my contact lenses in the container. I let it overnight. The next day i opted not to wear contact lenses. then i let it overnight again. the question is, do i need to change the fluid inside the container? or more specifically, how long the fluid inside the container can last once i put it inside the container? a day? two days?

Thanks in advance !

usually you dont have to change it unless you take them out and wear them, but i wouldnt leave them for too long.



As long as they keep the lids on tight I tell my patients they should reclean their contacts and change the solution their contacts are stored in at least once every two weeks. Thats IF they keep them tightly closed and don't touch the lenses during that time.

I imagine lenses could go for longer than this in solution, but that's the rule I use.



You have to change it after some days. But the period depends on the brand of the disinfecting solution.

Some solutions say you can leave your contacts soaked in for 30 days, 2 weeks or even 1 week. You have to check the bottle instructions.



Depends on the brand. Check your bottle and see what the instructions say.



It can last as long as it feels is necessary
