Replacement & care schedule
Following a replacement schedule and a good care routine keeps your eyes comfortable and healthy. Here's exactly when to replace your lenses—and how to look after them.
Top 3 ways to keep daily lenses moisturised
- Hydrate yourself — tear quality follows hydration; drink water through the day.
- Use the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds to rest your eyes and re-wet the lens.
- Choose moisture-retaining lenses — hyaluronic-acid and vitamin-enriched Clearlii lenses hold hydration longer.
Replacement frequency
| Lens type | Replace every | Max wear / day | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily disposable | Every day (discard after use) | Up to 16 hours | Clearlii Daily · Clearlii Vitamin |
| Monthly | Every 30 days | Up to 16 hours | Clearlii Monthly · Monthly Advanced |
Never wear lenses beyond their replacement interval, and never sleep in lenses unless specifically prescribed by your optician.
Caring for monthly lenses
Daily disposables need no cleaning—just discard after use. For monthly lenses, follow these five steps every time.
Wash & dry hands
Always start with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring dirt or microbes to the lens.
Remove & rinse
Remove the lens and rinse it with fresh Clearlii Multi-Purpose Solution—never tap water.
Clean in solution
Place the lens in your palm and rub gently for 20 seconds in circular motions to clean the surface.
Store
Store in a clean case filled with fresh solution. Replace the case every 1–3 months.
Insert
Wash your hands again, then insert the clean, conditioned lens for comfortable all-day wear.
Choosing a solution
| Type | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-purpose | Everyday monthly-lens care | Cleans, disinfects and stores in one step. Convenient for most wearers. |
| Peroxide-based | Sensitive eyes | Preservative-free deep clean; requires a neutralising case and full cycle before wear. |
Healthy lenses, healthy eyes
Good lens care is simple, but it matters enormously. Most contact-lens complications trace back to overwear or poor hygiene—not the lens itself. A consistent routine keeps your eyes white, comfortable and infection-free.
Daily disposables make this effortless: a fresh, sterile lens every morning and nothing to clean. Reusable lenses reward a little discipline with months of comfortable, cost-effective wear.
- Always wash and dry hands before handling lenses
- Never top up solution—use fresh solution every time
- Replace your lens case every 1–3 months
- Never rinse or store lenses in tap water
Daily vs. monthly, at a glance
Replacing lenses on time is the single most important habit for long-term eye health.
Daily disposables
A fresh lens every day; discard after a single wear. The most hygienic option and ideal for new or occasional wearers. No cleaning needed.
Monthly lenses
Reusable for up to 30 days of wear with proper cleaning and storage. More cost-effective and lower-waste for regular daily wearers.
When to discard
Bin daily lenses each night; replace monthlies on schedule even if they still feel fine. Never sleep in lenses unless specifically prescribed.
Looking after your lenses
How do I clean and store monthly lenses?
Wash and dry your hands. Place the lens in your palm with a few drops of Clearlii Multi-Purpose Solution and rub gently for about 20 seconds. Rinse, then store in a clean case filled with fresh solution. Replace the case every 1–3 months.
Can I wear my lenses longer than recommended?
No. Overwearing reduces oxygen to the cornea and raises the risk of irritation and infection. Always follow the replacement schedule and your optician's advice.
My eyes feel dry by evening—what helps?
Take regular screen breaks, blink fully, and consider a vitamin- or hyaluronic-acid-enriched Clearlii lens designed to retain moisture. If dryness persists, see your optician.
Can I swim or shower in my lenses?
Avoid water contact where possible—water can carry microbes that cling to lenses. If you must, use tight goggles and discard daily lenses afterwards.
