Caring for Coloured Contact Lenses in Summer – Keep Your Eyes Healthy and Your Look Bright

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your style – and coloured contact lenses are a brilliant way to highlight your eyes and add a striking element to any outfit or festival look. However, warm weather, sun exposure, and environmental changes make proper lens care especially important. In this article, we’ll share helpful and up-to-date tips for keeping your coloured lenses clean, safe, and comfortable throughout the summer months.

Why Summer Lens Care Matters

Sun, dust, dry air, air conditioning, and swimming – all of these can affect how your lenses feel and how your eyes respond to them. Without proper care, coloured lenses can dry out, become uncomfortable, or even lead to irritation and infections.

Contact Lens Solution – The Foundation of Proper Care

A good multi-purpose solution doesn’t just clean – it also disinfects and hydrates your lenses. It removes protein deposits, bacteria, and makeup residue from the lens surface.

✅ Use fresh solution every day – never reuse old solution.
✅ Never rinse your lenses with tap water or leave them to dry out.
✅ Clean your lens case regularly and replace it every 1–2 months.

➡️ Tip: Store lenses and solution in a cool, shaded place – never in direct sunlight or a hot car.

Hydrating Eye Drops – Comfort Throughout the Day

In the summer, your eyes are more likely to feel dry – due to sun, wind or air conditioning. Rewetting drops can help:

• Instantly refresh and hydrate your eyes

• Soothe dryness and irritation

• Improve lens comfort, especially in warm or dry environments

Always use drops that are suitable for contact lens wearers – not all types are compatible with lenses.

What to Avoid During Summer

• ❌ Never rinse your lenses with tap or pool water – these can contain harmful microbes.

• ❌ Don’t store your lenses in the car or direct sun – high heat can damage them.

• ❌ Never reuse contact lens solution – always use a fresh dose.

Summer Tips for Safe and Comfortable Wear

• Wear sunglasses with UV protection – even with lenses, your eyes need shielding from harmful rays.

• Stay well hydrated – this also benefits your eye moisture.

• Take your lenses out before swimming – pool or lake water poses a contamination risk.

Summary

Coloured contact lenses are a fun and stylish accessory, but wearing them during summer requires extra care. Using the right solution, hydrating drops and maintaining good hygiene helps keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear. Whether you’re enhancing your natural eye colour or going bold, the right care makes all the difference.
