Quick answer: Always store colored contacts in fresh contact lens solution (never water), wash your hands before handling, replace the solution in your case every day, and follow the recommended wear time. With proper care, reusable colored contacts can last up to 12 months.
Daily care routine
- Wash your hands with soap and water before touching your lenses. Dry with a lint-free towel.
- Remove one lens at a time. Place it in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of multi-purpose solution, and gently rub for 20 seconds to clean it.
- Rinse the lens with more solution.
- Fill your case with fresh solution. Never top up yesterday's solution — pour it out and refill.
- Place the lens in the case and let it soak for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before wearing again.
What NOT to do
- Never use water — not tap water, not bottled water, not distilled water. Water doesn't disinfect and can cause serious eye infections.
- Never sleep in colored contacts unless they're specifically designed for overnight wear (most cosmetic lenses are not).
- Never share lenses with anyone — even between family members.
- Never wear lenses if your eyes are red, irritated, or painful. Remove them and consult an eye care professional.
How long do colored contacts last?
MimoTique's reusable colored contacts (Lucky, Queen, Kitty, Glam, Dynasty, Swiss, and other lines) last up to 12 months with proper daily care. Replace them after the recommended period even if they still look fine — protein deposits build up over time.
Storage tips
- Replace your lens case every 1–3 months.
- Let the case air-dry upside-down after each use.
- Keep your solution bottle capped and away from heat.
- Don't use expired solution.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use water instead of contact lens solution?
No — never. Water doesn't disinfect lenses and can introduce bacteria that cause serious eye infections. Always use multi-purpose contact lens solution.
How often should I replace the solution in my case?
Every day. Pour out the old solution, rinse the case with fresh solution (not water), and refill. Never top up.
Can I wear colored contacts every day?
Yes, with proper care. Large-pupil lenses (Queen, Kitty, Glam) are more comfortable for extended daily wear. Small-pupil lenses (Lucky, Swiss) work daily too, but avoid driving or prolonged reading.
When should I stop wearing my lenses?
Remove lenses immediately if you feel pain, redness, excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, or blurred vision. Consult an eye care professional before wearing them again.
