Why a standard case won't do for sclera lenses
Sclera lenses are wider than regular contact lenses, and that extra width changes what they need from storage. A standard lens case is shaped around smaller lenses, so it may not hold a sclera lens securely. The 22mm Sclera Lens Case is designed specifically for sclera lenses, and the product record notes that these bigger cases are required for safe storage of sclera lenses.
The practical takeaway: match the case to the lens. If you wear sclera lenses, treat a sclera-specific case as part of your kit rather than an optional extra.
What the 22mm Sclera Lens Case is for
- 22mm Sclera Lens Case: Sclera Lens case specifically for Sclera Lenses. These bigger lens cases are required for the safe storage of the Sclera Lenses. This is the core reason to choose this case over a standard one: it is sized and intended for sclera lenses, which need more room than regular lenses.
22mm Sclera Lens Case
A simple storage routine for large sclera lenses
The supplied product information confirms the case is intended for sclera lens storage but does not include a step-by-step cleaning or filling procedure. The routine below covers the storage decisions you can make with confidence; follow the instructions that came with your lenses and your lens solution for anything specific to those products.
- Keep the case dedicated to sclera lenses: Use the 22mm Sclera Lens Case only for your sclera lenses so you always know where they are and avoid mixing them up with regular lenses.
- Store lenses fully submerged in fresh solution: A lens case only protects lenses when they are stored properly inside it. Use the solution recommended for your lenses and replace it according to that solution's instructions.
- Close the case securely between uses: A closed case keeps dust and debris away from the lens surfaces. Check that the lids are seated properly before putting the case away.
- Keep the case clean and let it dry: Rinse the case with the solution recommended for your lenses and leave it open to air-dry when empty. Avoid tap water for lens cases unless your lens manufacturer specifically says otherwise.
- Replace the case on a regular schedule: Lens cases accumulate residue over time. A sensible habit is to replace your case regularly, and sooner if it looks damaged or dirty.
Checkpoints before and after each storage session
- Before storing: Check that both lenses are clean and that the case is empty of old solution. Confirm the lids are ready to close.
- After storing: Make sure both lids are fully closed and the case is stored upright so solution does not leak out.
- Weekly check: Look inside the case for residue or damage. If you see either, clean it thoroughly or replace it.
What to do if you are unsure about your lens care
The 22mm Sclera Lens Case solves the storage-size problem, but it does not replace the care instructions for your specific lenses or solution. If you are unsure how often to change solution, how to clean your lenses, or how long you can wear them, check the instructions supplied with those products or ask your eye care professional. The product record for this case does not include lens wear schedules or cleaning protocols, so those details should come from the lens and solution you use.
Standard case vs. 22mm sclera lens case
- Standard lens case: Designed for regular contact lenses. May not accommodate the larger diameter of sclera lenses securely.
- 22mm Sclera Lens Case: Specifically intended for sclera lenses. The larger size is the reason it is required for safe storage of sclera lenses, according to the product record.
