How to use this contact lens cleaning timer

  1. Check your contact lens solution label for the required disinfecting or neutralizing time.
  2. Choose the matching preset, or enter a custom number of minutes.
  3. Use fresh solution and the case recommended for your cleaning system.
  4. Wait until the timer is complete before rinsing, inserting, or storing lenses according to the label.

Which preset should I use?

6 hours is a common neutralizing window for peroxide contact lens systems. Multipurpose solutions may use a different minimum soak time, often printed as 4, 6, or more hours on the bottle.

This timer is a reminder tool, not medical advice. Never put peroxide solution directly in your eye, and never wear lenses before the required neutralizing time is complete.

Contact lens cleaning timer FAQ

Why is there a 6 hour contact lens timer preset?

Many hydrogen peroxide contact lens systems need about six hours in the special case to neutralize before lenses are safe to wear. Use the timing printed on your own product first.

Can I reuse contact lens solution if the timer is still running?

No. Use fresh solution each time you disinfect lenses, and follow the replacement and case-cleaning directions on the product label.

What if I forget and leave lenses soaking longer?

Some lenses can remain in storage solution longer than the minimum time, but product rules differ. Check the label for maximum storage time, re-disinfection steps, and when to replace solution.
