Summer Care Tips for Colored Contact Lenses – Stay Stylish and Safe in the Heat

Wearing colored contact lenses in the summer is a fun way to switch up your look, whether you’re heading to a music festival, a beach day, or just out and about in the sun. But warmer weather also brings challenges for your eyes and lenses—heat, dryness, UV rays, and water exposure all require you to be more mindful about lens care. In this post, we’ll walk you through smart and simple ways to keep your colored lenses comfortable, clean, and safe all season long.

Why Summer Affects Your Contact Lenses

During the summer months, your eyes are exposed to more sunlight, wind, air conditioning, and even dust or sand—all of which can dry out your lenses and irritate your eyes. Add to that the risk of bacteria from swimming or sweat, and it becomes clear why proper care is so important.

Lens Solution: Clean, Disinfect, and Hydrate

A quality all-in-one contact lens solution does more than just clean—it also:

• Disinfects your lenses by killing germs and bacteria

• Removes protein and debris that build up from daily wear

• Keeps your lenses moist and more comfortable to wear

✅ Always use fresh solution—never top off or reuse old liquid
✅ Don’t rinse your lenses with tap water
✅ Clean your lens case regularly and replace it every couple of months

➡️ Pro tip: Keep your lens supplies out of direct sunlight and heat (don’t leave them in a hot car or windowsill).

Rewetting Drops: Instant Relief for Dry Eyes

Hot, dry air or cold air from AC units can leave your eyes feeling tired and dry. Rewetting drops—also called lubricating or hydrating drops—can:

• Refresh your lenses and eyes on the go

• Soothe discomfort caused by dryness or dust

• Help your lenses stay in place and feel better throughout the day

💧 Be sure to choose drops labeled safe for contact lenses—not all eye drops are lens-friendly.

What Not to Do in Summer

• ❌ Don’t clean or store your lenses in tap or pool water—it can contain harmful microorganisms

• ❌ Don’t leave your lenses or solution in a hot environment

• ❌ Don’t reuse old solution—fresh liquid is key to safe wear

Extra Tips for Healthy Summer Lens Wear

• Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays

• Stay hydrated to help your eyes stay naturally moist

• Remove your lenses before swimming to reduce infection risk

Final Thoughts

Colored contacts are a great way to express your personality, but summer conditions can be tough on your eyes and lenses. By using the right products, staying consistent with cleaning, and giving your eyes a little extra TLC, you’ll enjoy the season with confidence and comfort.
